Seems sensible and would make the generating code simpler too.

But is it worth the vsprintf code expansion for the 5 current uses?

mm/debug.c:     pr_warn("%sflags: %#lx(%pGp)%s\n", type, head->flags, &head->flags,
mm/memory-failure.c:                    pr_info("soft offline: %#lx: %s migration failed %d, type %lx (%pGp)\n",
mm/memory-failure.c:            pr_info("soft offline: %#lx: %s isolation failed, page count %d, type %lx (%pGp)\n",
mm/memory-failure.c:            pr_info("%s: %#lx: unknown page type: %lx (%pGp)\n",
mm/page_owner.c:                        "PFN %lu type %s Block %lu type %s Flags %#lx(%pGp)\n",

Wouldn't it be more sensible just to put this code in a new function
call in mm?
