I think KERN_CONT issue doesn't explain this corruption (i.e. preempted
at middle of vprintk()), so even if this is one vprintk(), this will not
be fixed. One of possibility is buffer overflow of printk, so truncated
the message, but of course, I'm not sure at least for now, and I'm not
checking current printk stuff yet.
Thanks.
