At the moment, there are two ways to control the unaligned message printing:
- use the dmesg command to lower the printing threshold below KERN_WARNING ("dmesg -n4", IIRC)
- use prctl --unalign=silent to turn off unaligned printing for a particular task and its children
If these mechanisms are not sufficient, there is nothing to stop anyone from cooking up a patch. For my puposes, what's there works nicely so I myself have no plans to make changes in this area.
