The %h printk modifier is used in 5 source files, and doesn't work on
ppc and sparc (vararg passing a short is broken on these platforms it
seems).
This has bitten me twice now, both times on platforms I don't have
access to. I'd prefer to see this nailed now.
Patch makes vsprintf ignore the `h' modifier.
