Add a function or extend printf to dump a kernel structure in a human readable
format, similar to what gdb can do.  Does dwarf give us enough info to do this
without requiring the script to specify the structure type?

For example, something like this:

print_struct($sock)

where $sock is a pointer to a struct socket could output this:

{
  state = 1,
  flags = 6,
  ops = 0x83337444,
  fasync_list = 0x84435355,
  file = 0x54338234,
  sk = 0x73322556,
  wait = {
    lock = 1,
    task_list = {
      next = 0x822334455,
      prev = 0x855443322
    },
  },
  type = 0
}
