Sure, but this is not a conversation in that sense, you reply to a
patch that something is not correct, but what's not correct is not a
subject of the patch. And that I need to correct.

The changelog says:

"A prototype for kmsg records instead of a byte-stream buffer revealed
a couple of missing printk(KERN_CONT ...) uses. Subsequent calls produce
one record per printk() call, while all should have ended up in a single
record."

What else do you need?
