In vprintk_emit(), are we going to always reserve 1024-byte
records, since we don't know the size in advance, e.g.

printk("%pS %s\n", regs->ip, current->name)
prb_reserve(&e, &rb, ????);

or are we going to run vscnprintf() on a NULL buffer first,
then reserve the exactly required number of bytes and afterwards
vscnprintf(s) -> prb_commit(&e)?
