This reverts commit a72c5e5eb738033938ab30d6a634b74d1d060f10.

The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be
used during logging although actual usage hasn't been committed yet.
This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to
follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot
of problems.


I have asked this before, but have been entirely ignored. So again, how do do you want to implement it in user space, if you are monitoring a system over a serial line, so all kernel messages go over that serial line to another system, without any local user space being involved?

Thanks,
Bernd
