if we change the interface from "print_symbol(fmt, addr)" to "print_symbol(prefix, addr, int newline)" we can simply do:

printk(prefix);
printk_symbol(addr);
if (newline)
	printk("\n");

NACK

I just wrote something that does "print_symbol(" %s)\n", addr);"
Notice the ")" in the output.

We can just change that to "print_symbol(prefix, addr, suffix)" instead. The concept is basically the same (and I wasn't very fond of that newline argument either).

As an added bonus we stop needing an extra layer to check that the string passed is in the right format with a single "%s" in it.
