Draft: log: split long messages before sending them to syslog()
It is known that syslog() has a size limitation, and long messages won't make it to the syslog daemon. In order to avoid that, and so that syslog() calls don´t end up with invalid reads reported by valgrind, just limit the size of the log lines sent to some sane value like 512, and make sure the long log entries (e.g. QMI or MBIM message taces) get split before sending them.
