I guess it just added a lot of code (most was actually eliminated in the pr_*() change), is not complete, and is inconsistently used. But I see that it would be helpful especially due to the amount of debug messages printed by default.

Sure, I didn't even know that was an option. How do you propose that is done though? > I've applied a number of these patches, care to respin the others and > resend them based on my latest tree? Okay, I will do that. I noticed some were missed but that may be because they depended on a few of the unapplied ones anyway, so I will also resend those as well. -- GPG-Key: 9AFE00EA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
