Depends, some of them it logs to the journal itself, via server_driver_message(). But unless explicitly written that way log messages of the journal go to kmsg. Things is, if you want to log an error message about your inability to write a log message you better don't write that as a log message that will then result in an error, and thus another log message, and thus another log message and so on, and thus a cycle. thus by default all our own log messages to go kmsg, except for a bunch where we know for sure they aren#t immediate effect of an attempt to write a log message, and thus won't result in a cycle.
