Eww. Perhaps we should grep for bare %x and fix them all at once? And
not let any more in...

How about:
printk("mfspr: unknown spr %u (dec)\n", sprn);
Or if we just care about having some sort of marker that those familiar

that doesn't make it look like appending (dec) should be normal practice:
printk("mfspr: unknown spr #%u\n", sprn);
