Ah yes.  I will fold things up so that printk isn't adding level
messages in the middle of the line.  In the case where the dmesg line
is incrementally being built up, I may patch the generating logic so
everything is made from a single call to printk.

Thanks for the feedback.  I am just picking this up and this is my 2nd
patch (set?) ever :)
