I don't remember much, but I think it involved at the least moving the
device node for the logger to use the "standard" kernel logging
kernel/user interface.

At worse case, all of the code could go away and the normal logging
interface be used, after it would be fixed up to handle the special
needs that warrented the creation of the android logger code in the
first place.
