[PATCH 0/2] cowsay support

[PATCH 0/2] cowsay support

[Richard Weinberger]

As the printk subsystem gains more and more popularity it is time to add
the final missing feature to make it perfect, namely cowsay output.
Currently only one type of cow is supported and the only user is kmsg,
but I can see more use cases for it and the need for different cow types.

Example of /dev/kmsg usage:
[    1.309561]   _________________________________________
[    1.309561] < systemd[1]: Detected architecture x86-64. >

Userspace cowsay(6) knows of different cows.  What about using those as a
visual indication of message level?

Yeah, this will be implemented for April 1st 2019 if we get funding.
I think of a eBPF cow engine such that usespace can load different cow types.

This is really sad. I'll miss the cows.
