Ok, so how about these two?

Rostedt is busy so I took Linus' old patch and Steven's last v2 and
split and extended them with the comments people had on the last thread:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160425145606.598329f2@gandalf.local.home

I hope, at least.

So it is ratelimiting by default, with "on" and "off" cmdline options. I
called the option somewhat a bit shorter too: "printk.kmsg"

The current use cases of this and of which I'm aware are:

* debug the kernel and thus shut up all interfering input from
userspace, i.e. boot with "printk.kmsg=off"

* debug userspace (and by that I mean systemd) by booting with
"printk.kmsg=on" so that the ratelimiting is disabled and the kernel log
gets all the spew.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
