I believe they are static and assume no more than 10
simultaneous uses of
printk_begin

+#define CONT_LINE_MAX LOG_LINE_MAX
+#define CONT_BUF_COUNT 10
+static char cont_buf[CONT_BUF_COUNT][CONT_LINE_MAX];
+static DECLARE_BITMAP(cont_buf_map, CONT_BUF_COUNT);

Though I don't see much value in a separate define
for CONT_LINE_MAx
