+	no_hash_pointers
+			Force pointers printed to the console or buffers to be
+			unhashed.  By default, when a pointer is printed via %p
+			format string, that pointer is "hashed", i.e. obscured
+			by hashing the pointer value.  This is a security feature
+			that hides actual kernel addresses from unprivileged
+			users, but it also makes debugging the kernel more
+			difficult since unequal pointers can no longer be
+			compared.  However, if this command-line option is
+			specified, then all normal pointers will have their true
+			value printed.  Pointers printed via %pK may still be
+			hashed.  This option should only be specified when
+			debugging the kernel.  Please do not use on production
+			kernels.
