Checking again, linux_proc_banner is only
used in one seq_printf and is not used in
a printk.

$ git grep -w linux_proc_banner *
fs/proc/version.c:      seq_printf(m, linux_proc_banner,
include/linux/logging.h:extern const char linux_proc_banner[];
init/version.c:const char linux_proc_banner[] =

I supposed it could be removed from kernel.h
or logging.h/printk.h and just declared extern
in fs/proc/version.c or moved to init.h or
maybe even version.h.

init.h already has other extern variables that
are declared in init/main.c so that might
make some sense.
