[As gcc seems unable to help us out selecting the appropriate data segment
for the code, how about we did something like this?]
When using printk from __init functions it would be desirable to place
the printk format strings in __initdata. Add a printk_init() variant
which does this.
This printk_init() is necessarily a #define so that we can declare the
format string in static scope and mark it __initdata. We then call a
newly introduced __printk_init() variant which is identicle to printk() but
marked __init itself. By ensuring that an __init variant of printk is used
we get proper section violation warnings when this is used incorrectly:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3): Section mismatch in reference from the
function something() to the variable .init.data:__printk_init_fmt.31426
The function something() references
the variable __initdata __printk_init_fmt.31426.
This is often because something lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of __printk_init_fmt.31426 is wrong.
Note I have followed printk's pattern for __cold annotations.
