And we also can re-use cont_add() / cont_flush() / etc.
Just pass a specific struct cont *cont to those functions.

Correction: I was wrong about this.

Looking at cont handling, it seems that buffered printk is special after
all. We do let it to be over LOG_LINE_MAX:

	if (nr_ext_console_drivers || cont.len + len > sizeof(cont.buf))
		cont_flush();
