   408	 * Some subsystems have their own custom printk that applies a va_format to a
   409	 * generic format, for example, to include a device number or other metadata
   410	 * alongside the format supplied by the caller.
   411	 *
   412	 * In order to store these in the way they would be emitted by the printk
   413	 * infrastructure, the subsystem provides us with the start, fixed string, and
   414	 * any subsequent text in the format string.
   415	 *
   416	 * We take a variable argument list as pr_fmt/dev_fmt/etc are sometimes passed
   417	 * as multiple arguments (eg: `"%s: ", "blah"`), and we must only take the
   418	 * first one.
   419	 *
   420	 * subsys_fmt_prefix must be known at compile time, or compilation will fail
   421	 * (since this is a mistake). If fmt or level is not known at compile time, no
   422	 * index entry will be made (since this can legitimately happen).
