i note in include/linux/printk.h:
static inline void console_silent(void)
{
console_loglevel = CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_SILENT;
}
except i see no reference to "console_silent" anywhere else in the
entire kernel code base. any idea what its purpose is?

It was used in an older version of the kernel. The architecture that used that function doesn't look like it is supported any more.
