Sorry, NACK on lib/vsprintf.c part

I definitely didn't want to do this tree-wide pf->ps conversion when
I introduced my patch set. pf/pF should have never existed, true,
but I think we must support pf/pF in vsprintf(). Simply because it
has been around for *far* too long. People tend to develop "habits",
you know, I'm quite sure ppc/hppa/etc folks still do [and will] use
pf/pF occasionally.
