Actually, I agree.

Many local macros could be eliminated that define
printk(<level> prefix)

I'd like to see macros added to kernel.h for:

	pr_err
	pr_notice
	pr_warn
	pr_alert
	pr_crit
	pr_emerge

and convert tree-wide all the single-line

	printk(KERN_<level> [prefix] fmt "\n", args...)

calls to the equivalent pr_<level> calls.

That would leave the multi-line printk(<level>...) calls
to be sorted out so these messages might no longer be
interleaved by multiple cpus/threads.
