This is taken from 4.7-rc2.

Given print_hex_dump() requires rework in a sense that we want to replace
existing print_buffer() with it maybe we apply this patch because it has
no dependencies on anything else?

If you want I may resend it with added info about kernel version used for
copy, or alternatively you may fixup it on patch application.
