Why not "<2>[drivers/hotplug/acpiphp_core.c:34] "?

Numbers on a per-file name basis, inserted by an automated pre-processor
before a final kernel is released?

After the first release, pre-processor would likely need to be 2 pass
to find highest previously used number, not change any existing message
numbers and add newer, higher numbered messages to any new added
messages. This would, also allow for manual assignment of a message
number to "override" auto-assignment.

I thought about abbreviating the pathname components, but better safe
than sorry(?).
