DESCRIPTION

     This function  registers  with  the  kernel  a  function  to
     display  all  the  kernel  messages printed by the printk(9)
     function.

     This function is normally called once at boot  time  by  the
     device  driver  for  the console device, whatever that turns
     out to be for the machine. The  console  procedure  is  only
     called to print messages that are to be printed, the filter-
     ing for log level is done already.

RETURN VALUE

     None.

BUGS

     Only one console can exist at a time, and there is no way to
     know if any other device has registered as a console.
