[PATCH] printk from userspace
The patch allows userspace to issue printk's, via sys_syslog(). The main use of this is within hpa's klibc - initial userspace needs a way of logging information and this API allows that information to be captured into the printk ringbuffer. It ends up in /var/log/messages. Messages are truncated at 1024 characters by printk's vsprintf(). Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
