While KERN_CONT will shut up checkpatch, I don't think
it isn't what you want here
since acer_wmi is loaded well afer we've gone SMP.

Instead, to get under 80 columns, you simpmly want to do something like this:

printk(ACER_ERR "Unable to detect available WMID "
	"devices");

as the pre-processor will concatenate adjacent strings for you at build time.
