Consolidates the printk messages to a single

Reduces text a bit.

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

drivers/acpi/acpica/utmisc.c is part of the ACPI CA and is used in
several different OSes, but %pV sounds like a Linux-specific feature,
so I don't see how this patch can work.
