ACK

however long term, I would tend to prefer that we utilize the embedded 
struct device we have, which seems to be the way things are moving long 
term.

	struct net_device *ndev = ...;
	struct nic_private *np = netdev_priv(ndev);

	dev_printk(KERN_INFO, &ndev->dev,
		   "we all live in a %s submarine, "
		   "a %s submarine\n",
		   np->color ? "yellow" : "silly");

I say "long term" because we want netdev->dev.bus_id to match the 
net_device->name[], and it may not at this point (needs 
research/verification).


[as an aside...]  If the message isn't directly related to a net_device, 
you should go ahead and use

	struct pci_dev *pdev = ...;

	dev_printk(KERN_INFO, &pdev->dev, "my message...");

because that stuff is reasonably mature (and seemingly the preferred 
direction).
