Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2009-04-24 11:20:16 UTC 
bug #3688 introduced some hex-dumping functionality into
stp_printf (%M), but we have had reports (bug #10081) that
it is limited to small numbers.  It should be as general as
%s or %m and take rather large width parameter values, so
that dozens or hundreds of bytes can be hexdumped in one go.

The initial patch is
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2009-q2/msg00417.html

Comment from Frank: "the two new macros seem just as well not used but inlined 
in their solitary use spots".

Will update it.
