Sorry I missed the flare up of this topic. What about events for which
there is no associated kobject?

why is the kobject argument not first? Seems weird..

What happened to a formatted string argument? The signal argument can
become the pre-formatted string, and someone can provide a wrapper
that takes a printf() like format and args.
kobject_uevent_printf(kobj, "something bad: 0x%08x", err);
