No, use pr_* instead for those.  But those should be quite rare, as you
should almost always have a device you are operating on, right?

The reason you don't use "raw" printk() is the dev_dbg() and pr_debug()
calls tie into the dynamic debugging core, which you want to use, as you
don't want to roll your own special way of doing debugging.

Good, but note, I think the network has their own version of this macro
as well :)
