Yes, right.

Yeah, can do, I would still prefer proc_kmsg to "move in".
Either both can live in printk.c (won't make it much worse),
or in kernel/printk/dev_kmsg.c and kernel/printk/proc_kmsg.c

I can take a look at dev_ksmg.c/proc_kmsg.c option, unless
someone else wants to spend their time on this.
