Fine, let's call evlog "an enhanced printk" and discuss the specific technical details of the proposition.

Whenever you change/enhance such things you may need coexistance for a while. However this is configurable, and to a certain extent temporary, bloat.

Actually this is pushing the formatting out of the kernel, is more efficient, and it leaves more flexibility to the logging daemon! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
