Some TS_TRACE messages can be directly replaced with printk (although
in some cases dev_printk might be nice to get a little more info
printed).  For example stuff like

			TS_REPORT_WARN(MOD_KERNEL_IB,
				       "Device %s is missing mandatory function %s",
				       device->name, mandatory_table[i].name);
			return -EINVAL;

(in core_device.c) can obviously be replaced with a printk(KERN_ERR ...).

However most of the trace messages (probably everything at level
VERBOSE and above) are for debugging and need to be wrapped in #ifdef
DEBUG or (better) dynamically controlled with a debug level settable
through sysfs.

For example most of the tracing in cm_*.c is way too verbose to printk
all the time (even at level KERN_DEBUG).
