I don't care much one way or another about it.
There are a few different uses in that file already.

I do try to avoid having the compiler do string
coalescing. In this case, I thought it unlikely
that a person would grep with content from both
sentences though.

Coalesced, this format is:

"Number of in use tx queues changed invalidating tc mappings. Priority traffic classification disabled!\n"

105 chars. That's pretty long.
Do you prefer coalesced formats in all cases?

pr_warn("Number of in use tx queues changed invalidating tc mappings. Priority traffic classification disabled!\n");
