Ok, I agree that if people need to worry about hashes things become more
difficult. Also I don't think keeping the message descriptions external to
the kernel source would be too much of a burden for us.
More background for this patch series: on s390 sys admins want to have
descriptions for kernel messages. They are used to that, because all other
operating systems on that platform like z/OS, z/VM or z/VSE have message
catalogs with detailed descriptions about the semantics of the messages.
So how about if we just merge the infrastructure (= new printk wrappers)
upstream and convert our drivers to use these? The message catalog itself
would be out of the kernel tree and it would be our problem if hashes get
out of sync.
See below for the simple approach. I just added a single converted driver
for ease of review. The patch set is available at:
git://git390.osdl.marist.edu/pub/scm/linux-2.6.git kmsg
Martin Schwidefsky (3):
[S390] kmsg: tagged kernel messages.
[S390] kmsg: tagged device messages.
[S390] kmsg: convert xpram messages to kmsg api.
