How can line buffering negatively affect this case? The current thread
which triggered an oops will keep calling printk() until that current
thread reaches panic(), won't it?
The only case where line buffering negatively affects will be that the
initial 10 bytes of a critical line failed to reach log_store() because
some other thread (not the current thread doing a series of printk())
halted CPUs / reset the whole machine _before_ the initial 10 bytes of
a critical line reaches log_store().

Yes, I sent a patch which helps reconstructing messages at
