Could we have a way to know that the printed address is hashed and not just
a pointer getting completely scrogged?  Perhaps prefix it with ... a hash!
So this line would look like:

[   26.089789] usercopy: kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to #0000000022a5b430 (kmalloc-1024) (1024 bytes)

Or does that miss the point of hashing the address, so the attacker
thinks its a real address?
