I just glanced through CUT_HERE users

warn_slowpath_fmt()    pr_warn(CUT_HERE)
__warn_printk()        pr_warn(CUT_HERE)
rdma_restrack_clean()  pr_err("restrack: %s", CUT_HERE)
rdma_restrack_clean()  pr_err("restrack: %s", CUT_HERE)

+ oops/panic end markers are of pr_warn() or pr_crit() log levels.
So I thought that maybe we can make it more or less similar.

But if it has always been this way (KERN_DEFAULT) then OK.
