[QUESTION] printk: time namespaces and printk timestamps

Hi everyone,

It looks like the monotonic timestamps of printk records do not take the
callers time namespace into account when emitted through /dev/kmsg,
/proc/kmsg and syslog(2).

To me this looks like a bug. What do you think? Should it be changed?
