D'oh. Good catch;)

The KERN_INFO here was unintentional. I had intended to leave it out.
The code I was looking at as a reference was just omitting KERN_ for
continuations. But I take it that the convention is to use KERN_CONT.
I'll fixup the patch series to use that.

I tried to use pr_ wherever the file was already using it or where I was
changing all printk()s. For files with many printk()s I just continued
using printk() to keep the patch small and also to avoid mixing printk
with pr_. However, if it is preferrable, I'm happy to replace all printk()s
with pr_ in the files I touch in the series.
