Well let me tell you about the circumstances: I use these Images for an embedded system without any console at all, but of a serial debug port (for developing). So if the development phase is finished then I really need absolutely no output in any boot sequence or anytime later, since nobody will read it at all. Because, the actual aim: I want to have my system booting as fast as any possible, that means excluding all unused features (here: it's the output). Now, if you think the patch you mentioned could help me, by disabling all output but keep everything else in the same way as it was, then I would really appreciate that if you could share it.
