I'd characterize it as more mechanically dull than
daunting, but it is awfully large (~300 KB).

I think that would not help.

Well, all but the ones that already have a defective
newline.  I think there are 4 or 5.

The .ko size increases a few hundred bytes when the
newlines are moved to the format, though it's still
about a 1% overall size reduction.

There would be:

264 uses of cifs_dbg(VFS, ...)
622 uses of cifs_dbg(FYI, ...)
 15 uses of cifs_dbg(NOISY, ...)

to verify. Using strings on the .ko simplifies that.

$ size fs/cifs/cifs.ko*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 265891	   2525	    132	 268548	  41904	fs/cifs/cifs.ko.new
 268359	   2525	    132	 271016	  422a8	fs/cifs/cifs.ko.old

The core of it is to cifs_debug.h
