    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.
