Hi Corey.

Yes it will and no it won't.

        dev_<level>(struct device *, "some really really long format string 
that makes the line longer than 80 chars\n");

passes checkpatch without warning just fine.

I'd use something like:

                        dev_warn(smi_info->dev,
                                 "Couldn't set irq info: %x - this may be OK, 
but ipmi might run very slowly\n",
                                 msg[2]);
