For me, NAK.

I think this isn't a good idea for now.
Maybe in a year or two after all the #define pr_fmt(foo)
are sorted out better.

This is a #define, that is used by all uses of pr_fmt/pr_debug.

This will have problems with uses of pr_fmt that are not
using KBUILD_MODNAME like all uses of:

#define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt

and those that use a specific fixed  string like:

#define pr_fmt(fmt) "foo: " fmt
