I'm not going to take a strong stand in one way or the other regarding
the patch at hand, but I do think at some point we have to draw a line
what should be included in printk formats. Arguably they should be
reserved to things that are generally useful across large parts of the
kernel, right?

I think the more specialized you get, the more you should think about
just using the plain old %s, and your own helpers. Because frankly, the
kernel printk specifiers also start getting more than a little obscure.

Or could we conceive of a way to make this locally extensible yet safe,
letting callers use something like %{foo}, as well as providing a
locally relevant function to do the conversion?


BR,
Jani.
