I think Simon added compat.h when he reworked the patch. My original
version did not use it to avoid this recursion problem. Linus's
solution looks O.K, but as you said it is not necessary to redefine it
at the end. I also don't see why the ___printk is needed.

While we are at it, please also remove the "foo:". That i do claim
responsibility for. I developed the patch on a kernel which is %pM
capable and i wanted to be sure it was using bat_printk and not the
native printk when testing. So i put in the foo. It never got removed
:-(
