How about people actually work on *that* instead of working around it?

Because the above really should not be true.

The patches literally added those '\n' things to the pr_xyz() routines
that *enforce* KERN_<level>.

So really. It's a step backwards. We shouldn't need them. We should
*remove* '\n' at the end, and then if that actually causes problems,
we should fix those problems.
