NACK!
This is the most important print in the system and it is a pure
user Interface. It has no effect what so ever on functionality
It is to Inform the user through dmesg what is the content of the
table.

Just add the new (7) entry here please. Here Christoph has bike shed

Sigh. Again an unknown type comes out busy. Busy means
resource used. It does *not* mean "unknown type".
It just forces researchers to ignore the return value of
request_region. And not be protected by double lock. It
does not really prevent anything
