Re: [PATCH net-next] drivers/acpi/acpica/utmisc.c: Use printk extension %pV

Consolidates the printk messages to a single
call so the messages can not be interleaved.

Reduces text a bit.

$ size drivers/acpi/acpica/utmisc.o.*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   7822	     56	   1832	   9710	   25ee	drivers/acpi/acpica/utmisc.o.old
   7748	     56	   1736	   9540	   2544	drivers/acpi/acpica/utmisc.o.new

Depends on net-next commit 7db6f5fb65a82af03229eef104dc9899c5eecf33
(vsprintf: Recursive vsnprintf: Add "%pV", struct va_format)

Compile tested only

Joe, I really can't keep merging stuff like this into the networking
tree.  The driver generic bits, since the netdev print macros needed
this indirectly and you used %pV primarily for networking stuff, that's
fine.

But you're going to have to find another way to merge uses outside of
networking that you want integrated.

Thanks.
