Your proposal is similar to one I made to some Japanese developers
earlier this year.  I was more modest, proposing that we

- add an enhanced printk

	xxprintk(msgid, KERN_ERR "some text %d\n", some_number);

- An externally managed database will provide translations, diagnostics,
  remedial actions, etc, keyed off the msgid string

- Format and management of the msgid hasn't been clearly identified yet
  as far as I know.  But all we really need is that each ID be unique,
  kernel-wide.  We develop a simple tool which can check the whole tree
  for duplicated msgids.

- From a practical day-to-day POV what this means is that a person
  from the kernel-messages team will prepare a patch for your driver
  which adds the msgids and you the driver author should take care not
  to break the tagging.

  This is deliberately designed to be minimum-impact upon general 
  developers.  We want a system in place where driver/fs/etc developers
  can concentrate on what they do, and kernel-message developers can
  as independently as possibe take care of what _they_ do.

- A project has started up and there is a mailing list (cc'ed here) and
  meetings are happening at the LF collaboration summit this week.

  Please see https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/lf_kernel_messages
  and don't miss the next conference call ;)

  (argh.  The lf_kernel_messages archives are subscriber-only and it could be that
  only members can post to it.  Oh well.  Please subscribe, and review the archives)
