Nah, it is

"Removing trace_printk.h saves 1.5-2% of compilation time on my
Ubuntu-derived x86_64/localyesconfig"

which is:

  localyesconfig  - Update current config converting local mods to core

and which makes me wonder - who does that?

What are we actually optimizing here?

And 1-2% at that.

I don't see how this outweighs the goodness of using trace_printk()
everywhere.

So that's a NO on that patch from me too.

Thx.
