Subject: [PATCH] detour TTY driver
Hi,
Here is the initial suggestion for a simple detour TTY driver, which
provides the ability to write user messages through printk. This allows
user output to be inlined with kernel output. Together with printk
time-stamping enabled, a detailed boot sequence analyses is possible.
Additionally, console logs could have been stored through the same
mechanism as kernel messages and does not require the system logger to
be started very/too soon.
regards, Samo
