I'm not entirely sure that this is an improvement.
What I do these days is delete everything in vprintk_emit() and simply
call early_printk().
On that, whoever made the device model use vprintk_emit() broke the
debugger (KGDB/KDB) printk intercept, and the whole vprintk_func
redirection scheme.
crap, we have a whole set of interfaces which are broken this way. 
printk_emit(), vprintk(), vprintk_emit().
