This piece isn't going to fly; it's an on stack allocation of 0.5kb;
that's too much for small stack kernels. Just changing this to a kalloc
is going be problematic too because we're in the io paths and the
allocation may fail. So I appreciate the problem, but I don't think the
solution works. Could we just tag the messages and use grep to put them
back together?
