Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] replace %pK with %p

NAK. Real people use kptr_restrict -- removing %pK is a regression for
them. Setting kptr_restrict should zero the values marked with %pK.
There is still a risk of correlating information leaks to at least
select a target. If we add a knob for the %p hashing to switch to
zeroing, then we could drop %pK, IMO.
