+ * ftrace_printk - printf formatting in the ftrace buffer
+ * @fmt: the printf format for printing
+ *
+ * Note: __ftrace_printk is an internal function for ftrace_printk and
+ * the @ip is passed in via the ftrace_printk macro.
+ *
+ * This function allows a kernel developer to debug fast path sections
+ * that printk is not appropriate for. By scattering in various
+ * printk like tracing in the code, a developer can quickly see
+ * where problems are occurring.
+ *
+ * This is intended as a debugging tool for the developer only.
+ * Please refrain from leaving ftrace_printks scattered around in
+ * your code.
