Unless you expect an architecture to pass in different values on
different invocations this clearly can be a #define rather than a
function parameter.

Is it intentional to make the message less useful by dripping the
printing of the file name?

No need for an "else" after an unconditional "return" in the "if"
branch.

Missing blank line between declaration and first statement.

Apart from the same comment made on an earlier patch - no need
for an extra message here when the called function already printed
one - this is a copy'n'paste mistake: You mean XSM instead of ucode
here.
