Reported by Tomasz Bursztyka:
For instance:
printk("%-8u", a_number);
For now, only printf() supports it, but in some shell modules, having a nice output is necessary (a lot of complex information can be written, and it's all worse if everything is not nicely formated). And since printk() is preferred (lighter than printf etc...), it would be nice to get that support in printk.
