Hi, Eric.

Last commit(2965fa), Dave Young (dyoung@redhatcom) split the previous
kernel/kexec.c into three pieces(kexec_core.c, kexec_file.c, kexec.c).
The common functions used by both kexec and kexec_file are placed in
file kernel/kexec_core.c.

The format of the output message likes "kexec: SYSC_kexec_load: hello,
world" previously. Due to the missing prefix "kexec", now it like
"SYSC_kexec_load: hello, world".

Dave Young misses the Macro pr_fmt to define the prefix output message
in file kexec.c and kexec_file.c. I think the previous Macro was moved
into the file kexec_core.c when Dave did the splitting.

Thanks
