If we want to do it safely, I think we should iterate from
__start___markers to __stop___markers symbols of vmlinux and get the
pointers to the name/format string pairs.
The same can then be done with modules using the __markers section.
Or maybe is there some reason not to do that ?
It's just rather a pain in the ass, a whole lot more fiddly work.
cf "somewhat crude" and "foreseeable future" in my patch's log entry.
Knock yourself out if you're looking for more tedious hacking to do in
modpost.c, but I say fix it when it breaks.
Hmmmm, I have rarely seen code go into mainline without addressing valid
technical criticism first. Please fix.
I'll look into it if I find the time.

Thanks,
