+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Fix #72: loss of raw kernel log messages to console
+Organization: Addiva Elektronik
+
+This patch adds a command line flag `-l` to keep kernel logs to console.
+A feature requested by embedded Linux users which often navigate issues
+by console output.
+
+With properly configured kernel logging, e.g., `quiet`, only error and
+above in severity is logged by the kernel directly to the console.  So
+for most users this would be a useful behavior.
