Hello! Before I completely make a fool of myself, here, (don't ask!), would one of you please define the term "printk"?
It sound as if this is one I should know, but again I can't be expected to know everything. (Even if the company mascots insist on it.)

It is a function name, taken from the Linux kernel.
It behaves like the C function printf() in that it accepts a format string and a list of parameters.
It is used in coreboot to print debug messages.
