bikeshed:

I suggest:

	printk_begin(&printk_context, fmt, ...)
	printk_continue(&printk_context, fmt, ...) (maybe printk_next())
	printk_end(&printk_context, fmt, ...)

and macros using pr_<level>_begin

ie:

#define pr_info_begin(context, fmt, ...)		\
	printk_begin(context, KERN_INFO pr_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)

and each continued bit would use printk_continue or printk_end
as appropriate.

KERN_<LEVEL> could be a separate argument, but it's simple
enough to use
printk_get_level on the format.
