If you meant below one, it fails with "error: expected ',' or ';' before '{' token".
Attributes annotation needs to be done as the prototype definition.
(Though I don't know whether __cold here makes sense...)

static int devkmsg_emit(int facility, int level, const char *fmt, ...)
__printf(3, 4) __cold
{
        va_list args;
        int r;

        va_start(args, fmt);
        r = vprintk_emit(facility, level, NULL, 0, fmt, args);
        va_end(args);

        return r;
}
