You can use pr_err_ratelimited() and define "insn-eval" with pr_fmt.
Look for examples in the tree.

Btw, "insn-eval" is perhaps not the right name - since we're building
an instruction decoder, maybe it should be called "insn-dec" or so. I'm
looking at those other arch/x86/lib/insn.c, arch/x86/include/asm/inat.h
things and how they're starting to morph into one decoding facility,
AFAICT.
