Add a space (' ') prefix to every userdata line to match docs for dev-kmsg. To account for this extra character in each userdata entry, reduce userdata entry names (directory name) from 54 characters to 53. According to the dev-kmsg docs, a space is used for subsequent lines to mark them as continuation lines. > A line starting with ' ', is a continuation line, adding > key/value pairs to the log message, which provide the machine > readable context of the message, for reliable processing in > userspace.
