Due to gcc shortcomings, each instance of this will chew an additional 100
bytes of stack.  Unless they fixed it recently.  Is a bit of a timebomb.  I
guess ksaprintf() could be used.

It also looks a bit, umm, innovative.
It's also unused 8)

It's an extremely useful macro for doing grossly invasive logging of the
guest.  I'll drop it if you prefer.

Cheers,
Rusty.
