Gcc seems to be smart enough to do contant folding on string
subscripts, so you don't need to change any of the printk()s.
Here is what I mean:

#include <stdio.h>

#define	actual_printk	printf

#define KERN_ERR        "<3>"   /* error conditions                     */
#define KERN_WARNING    "<4>"   /* warning conditions                   */
#define KERN_NOTICE     "<5>"   /* normal but significant condition     */

#define printk(str, ...) \
  do { \
    if ((str)[0] != '<' || (str)[1] < '5') \
      actual_printk((str), __VA_ARGS__); \
  } while(0);

int main(void)
{
	printk(KERN_ERR "error %d\n", 1);
	printk(KERN_WARNING "warning %d\n", 2);
	printk(KERN_NOTICE "notice %d\n", 3);
	printk("no level %d\n", 4);
	return 0;
}
