Yeah, it closed on Sunday, right?

I thought we might be able to squeak in since it was *mostly* settled,
and Shuah sent me an email two weeks ago which I interpreted to mean
she was still willing to take it.

In any case, it doesn't matter now.

Yeah, it would probably be good to put one in `struct kunit_assert`.

Yeah, just for typing purposes. I don't mind integrating this into the
current patchset and then deciding if we want it or not.

Will do.

Nice call! I didn't know the compiler warned about that. Will fix.

The calling context is the same as before, which is anywhere.

It's just buffering it so the whole string gets printed uninterrupted.
If we were to print out piecemeal to printk, couldn't we have another
call to printk come in causing it to garble the KUnit message we are
in the middle of printing?
