click_chatter() output uses printk() to generate its output. The system
logger daemon (syslogd) logs this output in /var/log/messages, and dmesg(1)
can get it. Unfortunately, as it seems like you've discovered, syslogd can
lose some messages, if they are generated too fast. There is no easy way
around this. If you want better control, you will need to "roll your own".
But I would recommend generating fewer messages, to make sure that syslogd
gets all the ones you need.
