I reviewed your patch, and found that console could only print messages
belonging to init_syslog.

So the message belongs to container syslog can not be printed from console,
but only "dmesg call" in user space.  Is that right?

For example, the messages can not be outputed automatically from serial port
as a kind of consoles on some embedded system.

And I am not sure if there are no other problems.

thanks!
