Not quite for formatting, but NIPQUAD(ipaddr) passes 4 octets of IP
address to <anywhere>.

Here's a patch/replacement for the IP address printing in the
netconsole
kernel module, using NIPQUAD().  Against netconsole version C2.

BTW, in linux/include/linux/kernel.h, isn't HIPQUAD() totally useless
(and also unused)?  It looks very little-endian-specific.
Well, it can be used on little-endian systems if the ipaddr is
in host-order.
