I've talked about this with my team and members of the IBM Linux Technology Center. Everyone agrees that the current mechanism is a neat hack but causes more pain than it's worth with respect to the space saved. Unfortunately, no one has been willing to take up this battle on LKML. So I've simply thrown up my hands in defeat and resort to hacking the source to replace the __LINE__ and __FILE__ data with noops then building a custom kernel to use for debugging. -- Kurtis D.
