    printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-level · e28d7137
    Linus Torvalds authored
    
    
    This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide
    which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk
    with the default loglevel.
    
    The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level
    marker at all is two-fold:
    
     - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the
       previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot,
       but perhaps because it expected a continuation)
    
     - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a
       message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken
       for a log-level.
