It's not a 2 byte binary.
It's a leading ascii SOH and a standard ascii char
'0' ... '7' or 'd'.

#define KERN_EMERG	KERN_SOH "0"	/* system is unusable */
#define KERN_ALERT	KERN_SOH "1"	/* action must be taken immediately */
etc...

No it doesn't.

It's not triggering that because devkmsg_writev does
prefix parsing only on the old "<n>" form.
