Seems sensible.

Does anyone actually set CONFIG_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL
to something other than 4?

It might be nice to show somewhere that larger values are
less important.

It may be nicer to have #defines for the
KERN_<LEVEL> numbers from kern_levels.h
and use those here.

Maybe add:

#define LOGLEVEL_EMERG          0
#define LOGLEVEL_ALERT          1
#define LOGLEVEL_CRIT           2
#define LOGLEVEL_ERR            3
#define LOGLEVEL_WARNING        4
#define LOGLEVEL_NOTICE         5
#define LOGLEVEL_INFO           6
#define LOGLEVEL_DEBUG          7

That could clean up a few uses of
magic numbers like 7 in dev_printk_emit
