[PATCH] clean up kernel messages
Arrange for all kernel printks to be no-ops. Only available if CONFIG_EMBEDDED. This patch saves about 375k on my laptop config and nearly 100k on minimal configs.

+ This option enables normal printk support. Removing it
+ eliminates most of the message strings from the kernel image
+ and makes the kernel more or less silent. As this makes it
+ very difficult to diagnose system problems, saying N here is
