Subject[PATCH 7/8] printk: Convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern
Date
Instead of "<.>", use an ASCII SOH for the KERN_<LEVEL>
prefix initiator.

This saves 1 byte per printk, thousands of bytes in a normal kernel.

No output changes are produced as vprintk_emit converts these
uses to "<.>".
