I have now found what I think is another valid use. What I have done is
to make xprintf() emit the output directly to the kernel ring-buffer.
This means two things:
1. We get rid of a (static) 1K temporary buffer in printk().
2. A single log message (as emitted by a single call to printk()) is no
longer limited to 1K bytes, but is limited to the size of the ring
buffer (this was obviously always true).
In particular, I think this output from bloat-o-meter is interesting:

There is only one very small caveat (that I can see) to be mentioned:
You can still use multiple printk() calls to append new text to a
partial message, but you can NOT output several messages in a single
call. I think, however, that no sanely written code would do this
anyway, with perhaps the exception of writes to /proc/kmsg, which may
contain newlines which will NOT be preceded by log-levels (or
timestamps). The solution would be to change this location to output the
user-provided data as an argument to %s (like my first kprint patches
did anyway), and maybe escape any newlines. I don't think it's an issue.
So please consider this patch instead of the first I submitted. New
