If we really can't tell the difference from the source code, we could move the affected warnings to a different warning group instead, so the kernel can turn them off.
Thanks for the feedback. I narrowed the scope by checking whether the next character of `%p` can be part of the kernel extended format specifier.
If people write `%pM` or a similar outside kernel, it still aborts the format size estimator and could lead to false negative. But I think it would hurt people much less because people usually put non-alphanumeric character after `%p`.
