I think having at least a generic socket address formatter would be  
very helpful.  The kernel RPC code can use that immediately for  
generating debugging messages, generating "universal  
addresses" (patches already accepted for 2.6.32) and for generating  
presentation addresses to pass to user space (lockd does this now).

I agree that the port number convention is tricky, and some kernel  
areas handle it differently than others. Perhaps having a separate  
family-agnostic formatter for printing the port number (or scope ID,  
etc.) might allow greatest flexibility.

The RPC code, for example, displays port numbers in decimal and in  
"hi.lo" format (the high byte is printed in decimal, then the low byte  
is printed in decimal.  The two values are separated by a dot.  For  
example, port 2049 is displayed as "8.1").
