Function scnprintf() would reserve space for the trailing '\0' and return 
value is the number of characters written into buf not including the 
trailing '\0'. internally meaning the next scnprintf() would write begin 
the trailing '\0'. The code specifying "PAGE_SIZE - i - 2" here is trying 
to reserve space for "\n\0" which would cause scnprintf() to reserve an 
additional byte making the tail of the buf looks like this: "\n\0\0". 
Thus. we should reserve only the space for one '\0'. passing in 
"PAGE_SIZE - i - 1".

Additionally, each iteration would replace the trailing '\0' from the last 
iteration with a space, and append 4 additional bytes to the string making 
it a total of 5 additional bytes. That means we should stop printing into 
the buffer if the remaining size is less than 7 bytes(1 for the ' ', 4 for 
the %u and 2 for the tailing "\n\0")

The $Subject patch is still required AFAICT, it is fixing a different problem.
Though it needs to be rebased on top of your branch now.

Resend it after rebasing on pm/linux-next.
