// Comment from kernel source:
/* ...
 * By default, the kernel messages are always printed on the current virtual
 * console. However, the user may modify that default with the
 * TIOCL_SETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl call.
 *
 * This function sets the kernel message console to be @new. It returns the old
 * virtual console number. The virtual terminal number 0 (both as parameter and
 * return value) means no redirection (i.e. always printed on the currently
 * active console).
