No. Fixes are welcome!

The only thing we are trying to avoid at this stage is massive
refactoring/cleanup work. Your series does not fit into that category.

As to my opinion on this series, assuming it is acceptable for the
maintainers, I would like to see console_verbose() become an alias to
console_verbose_start(). Then @ignore_loglevel would be used for both
and CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_MOTORMOUTH could be removed.
