Do not add your own color stuff into logging!
It will mess up when log goes to syslog or journal.
There is a better more complete set of patchs to add generic
color support to log (still under review).

Also directly manipulating kernel page cache via non-upstream
ioctl's is a bad idea from security and portability point of view.
Do you really want to make Christoph Hellwig, and Al Viro come
after you?

If you have to do this it should be wrapped in some API in EAL, not
in the driver.
