That was me counting the string length in a dirty patch in a previous
thread. We probably should say why we decided for a certain length and
maybe have a define for it.

Also, I could use your opinion on this here:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191118164407.GH6363@xxxxxxx

and the following mail.

I think that marking the splat with its number would *immensely* help us
with the question: was this the first splat or wasn't? A question we've
been asking since I got involved in kernel development. :)
