No strong opinion. I'm OK with this change.

I don't think that "unsigned int" is the right thing to use there.

Both log_first_seq and console_seq are u64.

log_first_seq - console_seq

thus, *in theory*, can be larger than "unsigned int". So I'd just avoid cast
and use an appropriate for u64 %llu sprintf() specifier. Something like below,
perhaps:

+ len = sprintf(text,

+ log_first_seq - console_seq);

/* messages are gone, move to first one */
console_seq = log_first_seq;

Steven, Petr, any objections?
