This looks like a bug in printk(). Why doesn't pr_cont() continue? It
shouldn't care if there's a newline or not. pr_cont() is supposed to
continue whatever the last printk log level was.

If this is broken here, it's probably broken elsewhere. The fix is to
fix printk, not to hunt and peck for the places with work arounds that
are broken by it.
