Hello, all.
This patchset implements printk_header() and mprintk - merging printk
- to make printing multiline messages and assembling message
piece-by-piece easier.
In a nutshell, printk_header() lets you do the following atomically
(against other messages).
code:
printk(KERN_INFO "ata1.00:

There often are times printk messages need to be assembled piece by
piece and it's usually done using one of the following methods.
* Calling printk() on partial message segments. This used to be quite
common but has a problem - the message can break up if someone else
prints something in
Reimplement libata printk helpers using printk_header, implement
helpers to initialize mprintk and use mprintk during device
configuration and EH reporting.
This fixes various formatting related problems of libata messages such
as misaligned multiline messages, decoded register lines with leading
When printing multiline messages, printk() resets log level to
default_message_loglevel after the first line. This changes log level
unexpectedly when printing multiline messages.
For example, libata error messages are printed like the following.
<3>ata8.00: cmd
Implement [v]printk_header() which takes @header argument and
automatically prints header in front of or indents multiline messages.
For example, if @header is "<7>ata1.00: " and the formatted message is
"<6>line0\nline1\n", the following gets written to the console.
<6>ata1.00: line0
