Sorry for wording it a bit weird, I was mostly trying to figure out what
these functions were originally used for. The uses I found in the git
log were mostly things like:

	ret = trace_vprintk(ip, task_curr_ret_stack(current), fmt, ap);

I guess the 2nd argument for these trace functions are implicit now and
these functions are no longer needed anywhere?
