Ok.

Whoops, totally oversaw this one.  Of course, this must be in.

Perhaps an even more generic solution would be good, like this:

#define section_printk(sect, fmt, args...) ({           \
        static const sect char __fmt[] = fmt;           \
        printk(__fmt, ## args);                         \
})

And then just have convenience wrappers like {,dev}init_printk, ... etc.

Can someone please shout at us if there is a fundamental problem with
this approach?
