The attribute print code in /sys/cam/ata/ata_xpt.c purposely prints a partial line without a <CR>, with the expectation that the rest will be printed immediately after it.  It probably gets interrupted to print the other device detection; I thought that all of this got single-threaded through the camisr, but maybe not.  Anyways, the quick fix is to print these attributes into a sprintf buffer first, then splat that buffer out once its complete.
