how about something along the lines of..

 bufptr = buffer = kmalloc()

 #if defined(CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING) || defined(CONFIG_COMPACTION)
	bufptr += sprintf(bufptr, "tlb_flush_pending %d\n",
			mm->tlb_flush_pending);
 #endif

 #ifdef CONFIG_MMU
	bufptr += sprintf(bufptr, "...
 #endif

 ...

 printk(KERN_EMERG "%s", buffer);

 free(buffer);


Still ugly, but looks less like a trainwreck, and keeps the variables
with the associated text.

It does introduce an allocation though, which may be problematic
in this situation. Depending how big this gets, perhaps make it static
instead?
