Hi Toshi, Tested your patches on a KVM setup. Since all your acpi_pr* macros are in the error path, I didn't see an easy way to trigger them. Instead added an acpi_pr_err() message in the success path and tested out vcpu addition/deletion sequence. No regressions seen in the functional tests and the ACPI err message comes out on the console and message buffer with a valid ACPI device path.

The patchset introduces a set of new macro interfaces, acpi_pr_<level>(), and updates the notify handlers to use them. acpi_pr_<level>() appends "ACPI" prefix and ACPI object path to the messages. This improves diagnostics in hotplug operations since it identifies an object that caused an issue in a log file. v2: - Set buffer.pointer to NULL in acpi_printk(). - Added acpi_pr_debug(). --- This patchset applies on top of the patch below.
