I wonder if printk should be self-contained.

If so, this patch should also add:

#include <linux/dynamic_debug.h>
#include <linux/ratelimit.h>

If not, maybe add:

#ifndef _LINUX_KERNEL_H
#error don't include <linux/printk.h> directly, use <linux/kernel.h>
#endif

Also asmlinkage is an ancient artifact and should
be removed from the declarations of early_printk,
vprintk, and printk.
