Hey, hey... do you expect users to patch all those printk() calls
in their kernel themself? Realistically they can:

* enable console logging for warnings and be flooded
* disable console logging for warnings and stay blind
* send patches to lkml and be ignored
* configure syslogd to print warnings on a dedicated tty

Anyway, that's what I did.
