Not sure if those warnings were present before on the old PRINTF calls, but we 
got them now.  However the underlying problem was there before: putting to 
much things in one printf/log line.  I can go split it up like in 'drivers/
fpga/virtex2.c' already, where you have the following comment:

    /* Gotta split this one up (so the stack won't blow??) */

Not sure however if debug printing all function pointers in those function 
tables has any value at all? Maybe that can just be dropped?
