hm, i'm not sure about the change itself (printks are often random, so 
the output to the console would depend on printk ordering), but the 
combined effect seems to be a nice cleanup that reduces the linecount:

so how about splitting it into two, first the code restructuring then a 
small add-on that does your feature? Does this make sense to you? This 
way, even if the feature ends up not being applied, we'll have your nice 
cleanup :-)
