This series removes all printk() calls from md code, preferring
pr_warn(), pr_err() etc.

All strings that were split over multiple lines are not joined
back together because being able to search for a message is more
important that not having long lines in the code.
Lots of printk(KERN_DEBUG... are not pr_debug() which means the
messages won't get printed unless they are explicitly disabled.

I included some rough guidelines on which pr_* to choose in md.c.
Many things became pr_debug(), most of the rest are pr_warn().
pr_err() and pr_crit() are used sparingly.

I simplified some code in multipath.c too.

A particular benefit of this is that the various "print_conf()"
functions are not silent by default.
On very large arrays (raid10 with hundreds of devices), these can
be very noisy.

Any specify reason why you didn't move to use dev_*() style of errors?
Generally I prefer having the messages prefixed with the device which caused them; making debugging _so_ much easier ...

Cheers,

Hannes
