Kernel: Add logging functions that automatically add device prefix to message
Currently in our kernel, we manually add a prefix of the name of a device to the messages we print to the console. Instead of doing this manually, it would be nice to have a function that automatically prefix the message with the corresponding device name. Or in the case of a PCI device, it might be nice to also add the PCI address etc.
A example API could be: dmesgln_device(device, "Example message: {}", "Hello Friends!"sv); Or it could take a File instead, which is the base class of the Kernel::Device.
Same places where this could be used:
serenity/Kernel/Storage/ATA/AHCI/Port.cpp
Line 186 in 8b0a464
Grepping for dmesgln(" will show many more examples of where such an API could be used.
