I think exactly the opposite myself.
I think all of the '#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": "'
are effectivly useless and I will eventually delete them.
The printk subsystem should look up the module name and
prefix them to the printk akin to how the dynamic_debug
system does. Except the module name should be a singleton.
