* 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
