We're using kernel pointer as an opaque handle when communicating with the device. We need the actual value to correlate things. Maybe I used the %px slightly out of spite there, because I forgot %p is now useless and wasted half an hour on debugging an endian issue :S
This message can only really trigger when root loads a specific BPF map onto the device and FW is buggy. Can I fix it in -next? I'm making changes to this part of the code anyway.
