Yes. printf_P(). Better read the manual as I don't use printf() so I  
haven't used printf_P() and can't say how or whether you can mix  
memory spaces in one _P function call.

Nope. Been talked about. GCC 3.x lacks the hooks to deal with  
multiple address spaces. Something that 4.x might. This is the one  
minor detail where at least some commercial AVR C compilers do better.

There are at least 3 address spaces in the AVR: SRAM, FLASH, and  
EEPROM. Maybe SFR is 4th but think that is in SRAM space.
