47 One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your
48 machine crashes very early before the regular console code is
49 initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of
50 a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.
51
52 For normal production environments this is normally not recommended,
53 because it doesn't feed events into klogd/syslogd and doesn't try to
54 print anything on the screen.
