Please use '0x' prefixes for hexadecimal output.....

.... because reading this I have no idea if "state 100" means a
value of one hundred, 0x100 (i.e. 256 decimal), or something else
entirely. I have to go look at the code to work it out, then I have
to remember that every time I look at one of these lines of output.

When I'm looking through gigabytes of debug output, it's little
things like this make a big difference to how quickly I can read the
important information in the output...

Otherwise it's ok, though I would have added the reference count
for the inode as well...
