Is this really a requirement? I suspect there are a fair few exception
to this over the kernel code.

Ok, I'll get back to you on that one :-)

Are you saying that they should all end in a , or that they should not,
or even just that it should be consistent?

Yes, and also I've updated all the other similar functions as requested.

I think you are right, so I've changed it.

I think so. I don't really care about the odd race here. All I want to
do is ensure that in the (very unlikely, I hope) situation of this
function being called, we don't land up generating huge amounts of
debugging information. Usually only the first message will have the
useful information in it, so this was just to ensure that we are not
flooded. I have made a slight change to it though. Let me know if you'd
like some further changes in this area.
