This won't compile when CONFIG_QED*=m, as qede can't link to
the new qed_{err, verbose, info, notice} functions.
That was the original reason for putting the macros in the interface
header.
Other alternatives:
- We can EXPORT_SYMBOL() the functions, although we've taken a
strain not adding such to the interface.
- Code duplication between qed/qede [ugly].
- Implementing this in qede via the interface functions with qed;
But the notion of defining an interface between 2 modules passing
va_args seems [to me] like a bad one.
If you have cleaner solutions, I'd be happy to hear those.
