We've *always* supported multiple lines, Greg. And it has always
worked. It's very inconvenient to have to use multiple printk's when
one would do.

That said, I think it would be interesting if the timing values were
just not printed at all when they match the last one, which would
happen with this kind of setup (and also happens if your time source
sucks).

You'd still want the lines to line up, though.
