yes, but it makes the 64-bit address not aligned depending on the number 
of leading zeroes, see below. I get a migraine just looking at the results.

Maybe add a test to use 08 for values that are below 0xFFFFFFFF and 16 
for addresses who really need the full range, typically because of an 
encoding?

w/ value-dependent format:
/sys/bus/acpi/devices# cat */*/adr

0x00160000
0x00140003
0x000d0000
0x000d0002
