Ok, just ignore it. The 80-column warning has always been sh*t anyway.

It may be that the "long line" warning is suppressed only for actual 
'printk()' cases, but it may also be that it looks at the intendation and 
only suppresses it for low levels of indents. I'm allergic to perl, so I'm 
not even going to look to try to find out the details.
