CodingStyle: Document the exception of not splitting user-visible strings, for grepping
Patch reviewers now recommend not splitting long user-visible strings,
such as printk messages, even if they exceed 80 columns. This avoids
breaking grep. However, that recommendation did not actually appear
anywhere in Documentation/CodingStyle.
See, for example, the thread at
