  How about this scheme instead?

    printk("%s: went up in flames\n", "eth0");

would become

    \0eth0\0: went up in flames\n\0\0

i.e. the zeros would mark a transition between text that came from
parameters and what was from the format string.  This would be a
lot easier to write to the console.
