i386: Split multi-line printk in oops output. From: Dave Jones Sometimes, bug reports come in where we've had an oops, and the only record we have is what the reporter saw on screen shortly before the system locked up completely. Unfortunatly, syslog only prints lines beginning with KERN_EMERG to the console, so some lines get lost. An example of this can be seen at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203723 Some of this information isn't vital to diagnosis, but some parts are useful, such as the tainted flag.
