Note that the console log integration into dmesg is a bit broken due to
wrap-around intersecting syslog lines.  The answer here might be to modify
the wrap-around behavior so that there are two pointers: one to end of the
loop, one to beginning of the loop.  In this manner, we could avoid
getting partial lines (the beginning would always be bumped forward to the
beginning of the next line).  Another problem that has been observed is
that the dmesg sysctl is public, yet output to the console may need to be
private.  The only real solution to this would be to allow the kernel to
differentiate the two types of logs, either by storing them seperately, or
by marking the records.  If you want to investigate either of these paths,
that would be great :-).
