syslogd: add option to log to Linux kernel printk buffer
Why invent our own shared memory circular buffer when the kernel has a
perfectly fine one already?
This can be used as a smaller/simpler alternative to the syslogd IPC support
(as IPC shmem/klogd/logread aren't needed), while also allowing centralised
logging of everything (kernel messages, userspace bootup and syslog)
when used together with ttyprintk.
Notice that kernel 3.5+ is needed to store syslog facility in printk buffer,
otherwise only the priority is stored.
