From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx>
With the wider display format, it can become hard to identify how many
bytes into the line you are looking at.
The patch adds new flags to hex_dump_to_buffer() and print_hex_dump() to
print vertical lines to separate every N groups of bytes.
eg.
buf:00000000: 454d414e 43415053|4e495f45 00584544 NAMESPAC|E_INDEX.
buf:00000010: 00000000 00000002|00000000 00000000 ........|........
