Nack for rhel6-branch. rsyslog changes need to stay on master, we're not
introducing it in rhel6-branch at this time.
So what can we do about Debugging of e.g. NetworkManager on s390?
While init.c has its own built-in syslog functionality, s390 went into
the race without any syslog. As you know, we have quite some issues with
network during installation on s390, which are hardly possible to track
down without any kind of syslog facility in initrd.img since NM messages
only go to /dev/null.
I understand that rsyslog is a post rhel6 thing in general.
Would a standalone binary written in C, that resembles init.c's syslog
part, be an alternative?
No. It's too late to introduce anything like that on rhel6-branch. Debugging
NM is hard, I know, but we should have changed this earlier in the development
cycle if we don't like things now.
You know, just like there is a standalone version of shutdown.

Some tools such as NetworkManager only send messages to syslog
but not to any terminal. In order to be able to debug issues
with such tools, allow s390 to do similar logging to init.c's
built-in syslogging.
Basically, this is cherry picking with adaptation of:

There have been at least the following bugs asking for the content
of /tmp/syslog on s390.
