Harding <me@xxxxxxxx> Some comments from a quick review: - I would just put this into the core-api manual; we don't need to create a separate section for printk formats. - I agree with Markus and others about the table. I think I would go a little further and encourage observance of the "use minimal markup" rule. Lots of ``double backticks`` make for slightly nicer HTML/PDF output, but they come at the expense of plain-text readability, which is something we really don't want to sacrifice. - The vsprintf.c part is probably not for me to take, so it should be split out into a separate patch.
