I'll submit the pull request as soon as the printk core patch hits upstream.

The change will break the driver when used with older versions (it will 
compile, load and run, but will print broken messages), and compat.h

informational, I'm pondering not even keeping #ifdef compatibility. Any 
thought on that ?
