I don't quite understand the illustration.  Maybe it would help if you
showed before & after output.

I'm not clear on the usefulness of having both "disabled" and "<none>"
here (same question as on patch [1/3]).  From reading the code, it
looks like we would always print them together, e.g., "disabled
<none>"?

You could just do this here and unindent the rest of the function:

        if (!flags)
                return buf;

Is there a minor asymmetry here?  When printing, I think you could
print "pref flags 0x..." (so you have both decoded bits and undecoded
bits), but if you pasted that same "pref flags 0x..." text into a
"set," you would lose the PREFETCH bit because you overwrite *flags
instead of ORing in the extra bits.
