From fc1c953f036a4566fcea0706db2bf97591882bd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: Make the default kernel prefix "kernel:" instead of the boot file,
 with the old behavior available via the -o option (it might still be useful
 if one has many kernels and cares which messages came from which).  If the
 boot file is not used as the prefix, it is still logged once at startup.

This change is prompted by the fact that the boot file is now much
longer ("/boot/kernel/kernel" vs. "/kernel"), which significanlty
bloats the syslogd output.
