I don't accept that idea yet.

There are about 50K printks vs 20K pr_<level>s
in kernel source.

I think 50K lines is _way_ too many to convert
in a couple of years.

I think it needs to be done subsystem by subsystem,
arch by arch, as maintainers accept.

And there's no hurry.

I have a script that automates most all of the
conversions, argument alignments, etc.
