Your code puts a bunch of extra whitespace in the string (all
the tabs before "register not mapped").  Two strings after
each other (like in my example) are just pasted together.

There is no real reason to break the string in two anyway, it
is fine to have a more-than-80-char line in printk messages.

You shouldn't have snipped, right after that it says

         for (;;) ;
