I would probably accept patches to move the arguments onto the next
line; I don't think that would make the overall code less readable.
In fact, I would normally put the arguments on the next line these days
anyway -- but that particular piece of debugging code dates from before
all this pointless fuss about 80 columns got started, so it was never an
issue.
It could probably do with printk priorities too, while we're at it.
