Good idea. Done. It adds three more lines to the executive summary but I
think they're worth it.

Yes. It'd be prudent for registers to come out unconditionally and
not some of the notifiers to make us exit early. Which kinda needs
print_modules() to go up too. Fixed.

Fixed.

Yeah, and the PAGE_OFFSET check needs to happen in show_ip() too.

Thanks for the detailed review, here's the current splat format:
