You misundestood. I'm not proposing to remove these printk's altogether. I'm
for removing KERN_DEBUG solely in the middle of the line.

Try the following program with and without 3-rd and 4-th KERN_DEBUG.

============================================================================
#include <stdio.h>

#define KERN_DEBUG "<7>"

int main(void)
{
        int i;

        printf(KERN_DEBUG "  Setting physnode_map array to node:\n");
        printf(KERN_DEBUG "  ");
        for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                printf(KERN_DEBUG "%d ", i);
        printf(KERN_DEBUG "\n");

        return 0;
}
