The ugliness only applies if you pass an additional earlyprintk=dbgp commandline option to the kernel. Otherwise, there's just one additional kernel message - via the usual interface - and no other impact. It would be very useful to have this included in the stock kernel rather than in a separate debugging kernel, so that our daily images are debuggable out of the box. Please reconsider enabling this.

(FWIW, Matthew Garrett says that they've had this enabled for years in Red Hat too)
