From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx> KVM on s390 does not support the ESA/390 architecture. We refuse to change the architecture mode and print a warning. While testing a crashme for kvm, I spotted two problems with the printk: o A malicious can flood host dmesg o There was no newline at the end of the printk This patch fixes both problems.
