Well yes, but by duplicating the logic how platform-specific addresses
are printed ...  I was hoping to avoid that.  The idea is that maybe
at some point in the future we will support more complex address output
formats (e.g. segmented addresses), and it would be good to have as few
place as possible that need to be changed to do so.

Thus I'd prefer to not duplicate the logic in ui_out_field_core_addr,
but rather just call it twice (using a temporary stream).
