color me blind - but I could not find any example of how I specify
key/value pairs when I use printk().

I could find lots of internal information - that parts looks to
be extensively documented - good.

But how I as a user specify this I failed to find.
Today I do:

    printk(KERN_ERR "foobar is bad");

But how is that extended to include the key/value pairs?
