compat.h and msdos_fs.h
Build-tested and no regressions found.

__attribute__((format(printf, 1, 2))) seems to be the preferred
form. 91 to 1.
I think __printf should be removed from gcc-compiler.h
and the only use in include/linux/marker.h converted.

If the markers are the only user of this macro, it makes sense to change
them and remove the macro. I have no strong opinion about this, but it
is technically ok.
