Use preempt_model_str() instead of manually conducting the preemption
model. Use pr_emerg() instead of printk() to pass a loglevel.

Why use pr_emerg() for that line and not all other ones ?

checkpatch complained for the current printk() line and this looks like
an emergency coming from die().

Right but checkpatch only looks at the line you modify with your patch, it doesn't consider the global picture.


The purpose of using printk() is to get it at the level defined by
CONFIG_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT and I think it is important to have the full
Oops block at the same level.

Okay. So "printk(KERN_DEFAULT " then.

Up to you, I'm fine with that but you should consistently update all printk's in the function, not only that one, so is it really worth it ?
