Subject: [RFC PATCH] include/linux/kernel.h: Add config option for
 pr_fmt(fmt)

Change the default #define pr_fmt(fmt) from:
	- #define pr_fmt(fmt) fmt
to:
	- #define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

This will standard use of prefixes and prevent the
addition of new #defines when using pr_<level>.

Adds a config option to use the old style if desired.

This adds prefixes to 326 strings in an x86 defconfig.
Broken out by subsystem/module, the prefixes are:

     10 acpi                
      2 act_api

      2 usb_storage         
     10 vgaarb              
      1 xt_state 

Some of these add useful info, others are redundant
and can and will be trivially fixed by adding either
a new line to #define pr_fmt(fmt) fmt to the sources
or by removing the internal prefix strings in the
existing pr_<level> calls.
