The current versions of the err() / info() / warn() syslog macros insert __FILE__ at the beginning of the message, which expands to the complete path name of the source file within the kernel tree. With the following patch, when used in a module, they'll insert the module name instead, which is significantly shorter and also tends to be more useful to users trying to make sense of a particular message.
