[RFC] move __devinit or __init printk constant format strings to__devinitconst or __initdata?

[Joe Perches]

Is moving constant string formats to __devinitconst or __initdata
useful for embedded environments?

As in:

#define printk_section(section, fmt, ...)				\
({ static const section char __fmt[] = fmt; printk(__fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); })

#define pr_err_section(section, fmt, ...) \
	printk_section(section, KERN_ERR pr_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)

with a use of:

static int __devinit foo_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
	if (bar())
		pr_err_section(__devinitconst,
			       "A long error message\n");
}

or

static int __init foo_init(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
	if (bar())
		pr_err_section(__initdata,
			       "A long error message\n");
}
