Well, what I'm talking about would be a new series. But I'll
wait I guess.

FYI, here's what I have already posted:
- This series (v5 has now been posted)
- A "printk: more log flag simplification" series that
follows this one (had problems; will be reposted as
a truncated set)

And here are some things I have queued, but have not yet
posted for review:
- A patch that corrects the size calculation issue you
also noticed in msg_print_text().
- A series that I'm still verifying, which avoids formatting
all printk() messages repeatedly.

I will try to avoid having too many things out at once.

Oh, all right. :)

I will keep it as I posted in v5. I moved this patch
earlier in the series, but did not combine it with the
first one.

Thanks for all your timely reviews, Petr.
