You can alter the systemd-journald-dev-log.socket unit file, and drop
the Symlinks=/dev/log line, and make something else take over that
symlink.

You can use InaccessiblePath=/dev/kmsg to make journald not read from
the kernel.

But note that such changes void your warranty and will break a good
chunk of features. If you make these changes you are basically on your
own.

Good luck,

Lennart
