Jiri Slaby pointed that out to me -- i.e., that printk itself is defined to do nothing but
return 0 if CONFIG_PRINTK is not defined. (I missed that when looking at file kernel.h).

I thought no answer was needed (sorry about that) -- Jiri was so obviously correct.

I've got no problem with the patch.
