Can it really take a negative amount of time?  If so, this message will
convert that to a positive duration.

Confused.

We should have a comment here explaining what we're warning about.  Why
would it take more that five seconds?

Better might be to just add a nice printk - I don't think we need the
stack trace here.

- One tab before the variable space is a waste of space.  Two tabs is
  just extravagant.

- The space before the [] shouldn't be there.  checkpatch misses this.

- This way of defining printk control strings is weird, and will (I
  assume) defeat gcc printk arg checking.

  I _assume_ it was done so that the strings could be moved into
  .init.data, thus saving a few bytes at runtime?

  I wonder if that's a good tradeoff.  It would be nice to teach gcc
  how to do this, but that sounds improbable.

I don't think I ever knew what __force does, and whoever added it
forgot to comment it.
