This is wrong. Please do not apply. Racy ontinuation lines and
strutured logging should not be mixed. Continuation lines are a nice
kernel hack for debugging, useful to have, but cannot be trusted by
userspace. The entire purpose of structured logging is to have
trustable atomic logging messages, the both facilities should not be
mixed.
