Code like this prints out currently on a single line at
KERN_DEFAULT.

@@ -138,16 +138,16 @@ void hfs_bnode_dump(struct hfs_bnode *node)
[]
        for (i = be16_to_cpu(desc.num_recs); i >= 0; off -= 2, i--) {
                key_off = hfs_bnode_read_u16(node, off);
-               dprint(DBG_BNODE_MOD, " %d", key_off);
+               hfs_dbg_cont(BNODE_MOD, " %d", key_off);

By converting this dprint() to pr_debug(), it would
print out on a multiple lines, one for each read.

That's why it should use a mechanism like dbg_cont.

btw: there is no current pr_debug_cont mechanism.
