Another patch?

There is no point in a flow like this:
1. Make a patch which changes %x to %p.
2. Make a second patch right after the first one which changes %p to %pK.
3. Optionally make a third patch removing %pK entirely.

There are two issues here (and in other places like in patch 3/10) -
64bit compilation warnings and security related issues. Properly fixing
security related issues would fix in the same time the compilation
warnings...

Best regards,
