syslogd: support for extracting user level messages from /dev/kmsg

Browse Source 
It is well established practise on Linux to use /dev/kmsg (old or
new API) before syslogd is up (and /dev/log exists).  This patch
enables support for extracting non-kernel log messages and logging
them with their proper facility and priority.
