Probably.  But there are a lot of them.  Even for the misspellings, I have 
only don about 1/3 of the cases.

On the other hand, the misspelling have to be checked carefully, because a 
misspelling of one thing could be the correct spelling of the thing thst 
was actually intended.

Joe, however, points out that a lot of these prints are just for function 
tracing, and could be removed.  I worked on another semantic patch that 
tries to do that.  It might be better to remove those prints completely, 
rather than sending one patch to transform them and then one patch to 
remove them after that.  That is why for this series I did only the ones 
where there was actually a problem.
