Hi Borislav

It wasn't and isn't the intention.

This is a patch _series_, and all of the patches
from 4-18 depend on patch 3 which converts the
generic define in include/linux/printk.h

from
	#define pr_fmt(fmt) fmt
to
	#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

Perhaps a better option, which could be done in
a v2 of the series, is to add a temporary
#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt
to each file modified in patches 4-18 and then
allow the follow-on script described in the 0/18
cover letter to remove those #defines

cheers, Joe
