Its worse than that, it looks very ugly in the sources. See for
example return_VALUE() macro...

I think acpi debugging crap^H^H^H^Hstuff should be simply removed in
favor of people running kgdb or something like that. ["If you want to
print all names of functions being entered, you should probably be
using debugger in the first place"]

When debugging acpi I end up doing printk's anyway because those
built-in macros produce just too much of output...
