Then you've changed semantics and I think you need to
fix it.

A dev_<level> call is not guaranteed to be a complete
message.

There are dev_<level> and netdev_<level> calls
followed by pr_cont.

Maybe these could be fixed up and then they could be
always integral.  There don't look to be too many.

This may be most (all?) of them:

Nah, there's a bunch more:

$ git grep -E -A10 "\b(netdev|dev)_(info|warn|notice|err|alert|emerg|crit)" drivers | \
  grep -B10 -E "\bprintk\s*\(\s*(KERN_CONT|)\s*\""

All of them could be fixed up though.
