Recursive printk can reduce the total image size of an x86 defconfig about 1% 
by reducing duplicated KERN_<level> strings and centralizing the functions
used by macros in new separate functions.

Joe Perches (4):
  vsprintf: Recursive vsnprintf: Add "%pV", struct va_format
  device.h drivers/base/core.c Convert dev_<level> logging macros to functions
  netdevice.h net/core/dev.c: Convert netdev_<level> logging macros to functions
  netdevice.h: Change netif_<level> macros to call netdev_<level> functions
