I cross-checked your proposition.
The "ino 0x%llx" looks wrong to me, because :
- i_ino is "unsigned long", not "(unsigned) long long"

- triggers a printk where "ino" looks really awfull (on a 32bits LE arm)
> mm_filemap_add_to_page_cache: dev 0:2 ino 0xc05186e000000000 page=000a0737
> pfn=0 ofs=3283861504

- why print the inode number in hexadecimal format ???
Doing a "ls -i" returns decimal format, "debugfs" returns decimal. What is
the rational behind hexadecimal ?

I'd rather have : "dev %d:%d ino %lu page=0x%p pfn=%lu ofs=%lu".
