Knock yourself out.  I don't know about better, but
coccinelle would certainly work different.

You'll still need to integrated the split format strings,
which coccinelle doesn't do, reformat/align the
pr_<foo>/dev_<foo> arguments, indent the modified source,
(I used a diff/emacs script), etc.

You might also extract the embedded function names
from the constant format strings, and use %s...__func__.

cheers, Joe
