This is a minor nuisance. Openrc has /etc/init.d/dmesg which sets the dmesg level to 1. As a result, the boot messages of openrc are not intertwined with kernel messages and everything looks nice and clean. This doesn't happen with systemd. Of course one could address that by appending "loglevel=N" to the kernel command line. But I like openrc's approach better. If systemd provided with a similar solution this would increase consistency with openrc. It seems that it is very simple to create systemd unit for that, but I don't know how to make it run as early as possible.

The root case is the same as bug 476814, we need to update the wiki with upstream suggestions to configure kernel output
