[PATCH -v3 1/4] printk, Add pr_pfx for library functions

From: Huang Ying
Date: Thu Dec 02 2010 - 03:06:04 EST


For library functions doing printk, the log level and line prefix
usually need to be specified by the caller. So this patch adds
"pr_pfx" to make the life of these library functions easier.
