Seems sane to me.
It needs to handle %z as well as %Z.
The layout of `struct kern_log_entry' may be problematic. Think of the situation where a 64-bit kernel constructs one of these and sends it up to 32-bit userspace. Will the structure layout be the same under the 32-bit compiler as under the 64-bit one?
How do you actually intend to use this? Will it be by adding new evt_printf() calls to particular drivers, or replacing existing printk's or both?
Would it make sense for evt_printf() to fall back to printk() if nobody is listening to the log stream?
