comes from printk.o:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   6068     231   17636   23935    5d7f kernel/printk.o
   6075     231   17636   23942    5d86 kernel/printk.o

the effect of the extra parameter. But that is not worth #ifdef-ing for. 
For all practical purposes there's no overhead.
