Just a guess here, but maybe the s390x kernel for SLES 11 SP1 was compiled with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME disabled, while the x86-64 kernel had the same option enabled?
I do see those time-offset numbers at the beginning of output from other kernels on s390x, so I don't think it's a difference inherent to the architecture.
