This part worries me a lot. I would alsmost rather all possible messages get stuck somewhere common so driver writes can't add these ad-hoc and we can avoid a proliferation of either similar or pointless messages.
Forcing these into a common place lets people eyeball if a new messages really is necessary --- and it makes writing applications to deal with these things easier (since you don't have to scan the entire kernel tree).
