Primary purpose of this patch is to make KERN_WARNING and
KERN_INFO log levels closer to their original meaning.
Today they are quite far from what was intended.
Just look what kernel writes at the WARNING level
each time you boot your box!
Diff for devfs.

I've already posted a patch which adds KERN_* to all printk()'s in
devfs (devfs-patch-v199.9). I even submitted it to Marcelo, but we
were in 2.4.18-rc1 so he deferred it. It's queued for resubmission. Be
patient.

Richard....
