Yes - exactly like that except that I wouldn't wrap the long string.
Lines longer than 80 chars are good to avoid, but breaking string
literals is worse than having long lines.  e.g. it makes searching for
the string hard.

Isn't that the kernel standard anyway?

"Wrap at 80 chars *unless* that would mean breaking a string literal".

Iirc an lwn story or something about how all subsystems tended to follow
this rule except one, so they were going to try and standardise across
everything.
