Indeed, indicating an error by returning -1 would be better. Thanks for
spotting that.

I don't think we should use p as a format string directly as it might
contain more/different format specifiers. Presumably we would need
additional logic for checking this and returning an error for such cases
-- and this new implementation wouldn't be much simpler than current I
believe.

Current implementation allows any string given by the guest to be
printed out. If there are multiple format specifiers then only the first
occurrence of %d will be replaced with the integer.
