This used to print "bounce pool size: N pages" but will now print
"bounce: bounce pool size: N pages".
It isn't necessarily a *bad* change but perhaps a little more thought
could be put into it. In this example it would be better remove the
redundancy by using
pr_info("pool size: %d pages\n"...);
And all of this should be described and justified in the changelog,
