I believe after some agreement is reached, the default
will become some equivalent of KBUILD_MODNAME ": "
and the actions required in files that already have
that #define will allow leisurely removal of those
now unnecessary defines.

I expect functions to replace the #defines for
pr_<level> and those functions will emit the
appropriate KBUILD_MODNAME equivalents.
