I don't know. Compare the following two lines: printk(KERN_INFO "Message.\n"); kprint_info("Message."); By dropping the lengthy macro (it's not like it's going to change while we're running anyway, so why not make it a part of the function name?) and the final newline, we actually end up with a net decrease in line length. I thought it would be nice to have something that looks familiar, since that would ease an eventual transition. klog is a valid alternative, but isn't kp a bit cryptic?
