Hm. I guess I stand corrected. The document reads:

"However, never break user-visible strings such as printk messages, because that breaks the ability to grep for them."

Still, the GFS2 and DLM code has a plethora of broken-up printk messages,
and I don't like the thought of re-combining them all.
