Can we fix that by making it an alias for printk in the module case? The only reason we need it to be __init is so that we get the section warnings when you use it from non-init code, right? Won't we get the warning when non-init code refers to the string in initdata anyway? -- dwmw2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
