Outputting kernel addresses will reveal the locations of kernel code
and data. Change the cases in show_floppy that print
fd_timer.work.func and fd_timeout.work.func to use the %pf format
specifier, which will print the symbol name, like what is done for the
other function pointers printed by show_floppy. No longer output the
value of cont. The variable cont is a pointer that can hold the
address of kernel global variables.

Perhaps you missed %px introduction and hashing pointers otherwise.
OTOH I don't give a crap about floppy.
