One point in favor of including the file name is that it allows the
consumer of this information to grep the correct file instead of having
to grep all of /usr/src/sys.  The line number is pretty useless, though.

What about the case of macros like KASSERT() and the vnode lock
assertions?  Won't they report the name and line number of the #define?
