And less than that because a lot of these are in
arch specific code.

0x%x is easier and simpler to visualize than %#x.

But you are welcome to try to make the kernel smaller.
One byte at a time.

There are ~14.5k uses of 0x%x in ~10.5k lines and
~2600 files that would be changed.

That's a lot of lines and a lot of patches.

$ git grep --name-only "0x%x" | xargs sed -i -e 's/0x%x/%#x/g'
$ git diff | wc
  96250  415388 3949872

Only a 4M patch.

The pretty common (~5k) "0x%08x" would be "%#010x"
so that doesn't save any space.

but this one's a ~3.5M patch.

$ git grep --name-only -P "0x%\d+\w*x" | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/0x%0(\d+)(\w*)x/"\%#0" . eval($1 + 2) . "$2x"/eg'
$ git diff | wc
  80857  344565 3306990

enjoy...
