Sorry if this has appeared before in the thread...

I like the boot messages (as everyone running linus, I suppose) because you
know what is it doing really. But boot is now a real mesh. If toy want to
find something you have to read all.

Would't it be nice to give a template or a try to standarise the init or
module insertion messages ? Someone that can have a global view of what
kind of info a subsystem or a driver can print (name of driver, version,
devices detected

Say you can change:

Starting kswapd v1.8
pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured
Serial driver version 5.05b (2001-05-03) with MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI en
abled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
Real Time Clock Driver v1.10d
block: queued sectors max/low 169645kB/56548kB, 512 slots per queue
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX4: chipset revision 1
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

To:

kswapd:
	Version: 1.8
pty: 
	Version: xxxxx
	Devices: 256 Unix98 ptys configured
serial:
	Version: 5.05b (2001-05-03) with 
	Options: MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI
	Devices: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
		 ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
rtclock:
	Version: 1.10d
ide:
	Version: 6.31
......

Just an idea....
