I don't have the stat numbers handy but the established idea is that since the texts could be up to 80-chars long (and it's a good thing), the printk line needed to output them has to be longer. IOW, breaking the text into pieces is worse. Obviously, that doesn't mean one can't do better. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
