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
http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c1312215262.11635.15.camel%40Joe%2dLaptop%3e
