   1 /* A server must occasionally print some message.  It uses a simple version of
   2  * printf() found in the system lib that calls kputc() to output characters.
   3  * Printing is done with a call to the kernel, and not by going through FS.
   4  *
   5  * This routine can only be used by servers and device drivers.  The kernel
   6  * must define its own kputc(). Note that the log driver also defines its own
   7  * kputc() to directly call the TTY instead of going through this library.
