Not only do you have duplication, here, but inconsistency...

how about
pci_printk(v, KERN_DEBUG "...\n");

will put
<pci> <7> ...\n
in dmesg bug,

and let vprintk get rid of <pci> like <7>

is that what you want?


First of all, what is the "v" here, and why not just have
printk(KERN_PCI KERN_DEBUG "...\n");

... and we can do #define PCI_DEBUG KERN_PCI KERN_DEBUG even.

We do have a need for special macros when we're doing device-specific prefixes, of course. If that is what your "v" is meant to be, then there was an implicit topic shift in the discussion thread.
