You need less.

This has nothing to do with the current printk subsystem,
it has only to do with using KERN_CONT.

Maybe:

trivial: add some KERN_CONT markers to continuation lines

or something like:

commit 66d0ae4d6ffa45b8e6d8bdbf85f8f1b285c8152d
Author: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@...il.com>
Date:   Sun Dec 6 16:16:24 2009 +0100

    PM / Hibernate: Swap, use KERN_CONT
    
    Use KERN_CONT in save_image() for printks, so that anybody won't
    try to add a loglevel.
