Ack, I did mean to use KSYM_NAME_LEN, thanks.

Yes, this is a concern and I'm not sure what the best way to fix it
is. If both MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were straight up
constants, then I think Josh's stringify approach would have worked
perfectly. However since MODULE_NAME_LEN translates to an expression
(64 - sizeof(unsigned long)), which the preprocessor cannot evaluate,
we will need another approach. Building the format strings at run time
might be messier than we'd like. Alternatively we could just go the
simple route and simply be a bit more aggressive on the upper bound
for the format width; though the size of long varies on different
architectures, afaik the max size it could ever be on any arch is 8
bytes, so perhaps 64 - 8 = 56 (then - 1 to make room for \0) might be
an appropriate field width. This would deserve a comment as well.
