$ echo $COLUMNS
274

Two terminals of 120 + metadata (linenumbers, window frames, ...) fit well,
and that's just a plain old Full HD display.
I heard 4K is all the rage now ;-)

Several of our function signatures are longer than a line.

Two levels of indentation (function level + if clause), plus
'printk(BIOS_ERROR, "\n");' is already more than half an 80 column screen.
Breaking up messages means that they're harder to find with a git grep.
