Yeah, that was a good example of how to go about changinging things.  As
I said on that thread I would happily change checkpatch to follow suit.
Oddly for a CodingStyle discussion there was very "discussion" at all.
It feels like people are scared of the passion that often errupts in
discussions over style.

On that particular suggestion, I would probabally be in favour, and
slightly happier to have the string on the printk line for consistency
even though that would violate the "don't hide information" rule.
