Small correction: those numbers, as produced by klogd, are decimal, not hex.
It's too bad that we have this inconsistency, klogd should probably be modified
to print hex numbers. I know it made we waste quite a bit of time trying to
match them with objdump's hex addresses (of System.map) until I realized they
were decimal.
