1. rsyslog: Keep Linux console log level default …

   MarIuX’ Linux kernel’s default console log level is configured to be 7.
   
       $ grep LOGLEVEL /boot/config-5.4.21.mx64.323
       CONFIG_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT=7
       CONFIG_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET=4
       CONFIG_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT=4
   
   Probably to not spam the console, in the distant past rsyslogd was
   configured to decrease the log level to 1. After rsyslogd started, the
   console log level was therefore changed.
   
       $ sysctl kernel.printk
       kernel.printk = 1	4	1	7
   
   Especially on the serial console, this is very confusing, as during
   start-up suddenly messages are not printed anymore, when messages with
   the same log level have been printed before, which happens when rsyslogd
   starts.
   
   Remove the kernel log level configuration, so rsyslogd does not change
   anything.
   
   If we want to change the default console log level, we should configure
   the Linux kernel appropriately. At least in MarIuX, where we build the
   Linux kernel ourselves, doing it in rsyslogd is a confusing layering
   violation.
