This was a wrapped string, it has been changed in comnit 
f2ad5140fa521bda30b9c3c3db5b6913f6dda1ae ("hw/arm/exynos: Convert fprintf to 
qemu_log_mask/error_report") and finally been removed in commit
7264961934130df50d151def5eb415efa2e28ec5.

This (split) string still exists in hw/s390x/s390-pci-bus.c:

$ grep -r -A1 MSI-X.support.is.mandatory hw/
hw/s390x/s390-pci-bus.c:            error_setg(errp, "MSI-X support is 
mandatory "
hw/s390x/s390-pci-bus.c-                       "in the S390 architecture");

So I think we should keep it.
