I thought for printk's it was fine to break after the comma, just not
the printk format line. That is,

printk("ftrace_rcu_func: %pS\n", (void *)per_cpu(ftrace_rcu_func, cpu));

can go to:

printk("ftrace_rcu_func: %pS\n",
(void *)per_cpu(ftrace_rcu_func, cpu));

But

printk("this is a really long line and it goes on forever and might be too much to break up\n");

can't go to:

printk("this is a really long line and it goes on forever and"
" might be too much to break up\n");

Yeah, I read that part too.

Anyway, this conversation is all moot, as the patch is on hold, and we
may have a better way to solve this anyway, making the patch obsolete.
