So, on a new install, we get userland register dumps in

/var/log/debug
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/syslog
and... on the console.

The reason they are on the console also is because our kernel/printk.c
has

#define DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL 9 /* anything MORE serious than KERN_DEBUG */

while an official kernel has

#define DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL 7 /* anything MORE serious than KERN_DEBUG */


I vote for changing ours to '7', unless anyone objects...
