+/*
+ *  linux/kernel/printk.c
+ *
+ *  Copyright (C) 1991, 1992  Linus Torvalds
+ *
+ * Modified to make sys_syslog() more flexible: added commands to
+ * return the last 4k of kernel messages, regardless of whether
+ * they've been read or not.  Added option to suppress kernel printk's
+ * to the console.  Added hook for sending the console messages
+ * elsewhere, in preparation for a serial line console (someday).
+ * Ted Ts'o, 2/11/93.
+ * Modified for sysctl support, 1/8/97, Chris Horn.
+ * Fixed SMP synchronization, 08/08/99, Manfred Spraul
+ *     manfred@colorfullife.com
+ * Rewrote bits to get rid of console_lock
+ *	01Mar01 Andrew Morton
