Hmm. I don't know how many kernel printk-s you have and how often
do you write to kmsg. I was thinking about something like this:

echo 0 > /...printk.../time
dump buffer to /dev/kmsg
echo 1 > /...printk../time

- If you would have several kernel printk-s in the meantime, then
those would not have timestamps, but you kinda can roughly guess
it

write [1243] foo > /dev/kmsg
write [1244] foo > /dev/kmsg
<< printk(bar) <timestamp ~[1244,1245]>
write [1245] foo > /dev/kmsg

Maybe this won't suffice.
