Should probably do a stat() on the file in the fs and check for the
executable bit?

Will be based on this:

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=e11fea92e13fb91c50bacca799a6131c81929986

We will kill the current /proc/kmsg code and the ImportKernel option
and use the /dev/kmsg interface which will allow us to properly
recognize messages from the kernel.

We can stat() /dev/sda find the dev_t and look up the device in the journal.

The magic --device= strings in the TODO are explained in the
dev_printk() patch above.
