Subject: emit loglevel for printk output
Hi,
I propose a character before each logged line so that one can easily grep
through dmesg output for errors/warnings/etc.
It's just a suggestion, maybe there are better ways. E.g. iirc openbsd
uses colors.
errors/criticals/fatals: -
warnings: !
debugging: #
info: +
