Actually they should, but the right prefix :-)

Quoting include/linux/kernel.h:

| /*
|  * Annotation for a "continued" line of log printout (only done after a
|  * line that had no enclosing \n). Only to be used by core/arch code
|  * during early bootup (a continued line is not SMP-safe otherwise).
|  */
| #define KERN_CONT       ""

Please also consider the note about SMP-safeness.
