I have an Intel D945GTP motherboard, and have the problem with an
improper allocation of msgbuf that is described.  The resulting dmesg
is totally corrupted and useless for viewing anything virtually all
the time.  Using the submitter's code, I fixed my dmesg on amd64.
Everything seems to run fine so far ...

Could a developer please look at this and perhaps commit it (or a
similar fix)?  I'm sure there are plenty of people who have this
problem.

Thank you for your time and effort,

--Blair
