AFAICS that breaks ranges with leading zero, which are assumed to be octal after this change. Besides that, it breaks all existing layout files which are missing the 0x prefix as documented in the man page. The man page has the following layout file example: 00000000:00008fff gfxrom 00009000:0003ffff normal 00040000:0007ffff fallback Note the missing 0x in front of the values.
Given that this is a major user interface change, we might as well switch to a new layout file format which has better syntax.
Yeah, I'd change it to whatever is the best-suited syntax rather sooner than later. I doubt this functionality has been used much at all anyway, to be honest. I for one didn't ever use or need it so far.
