well, I think that that "consoles_format=syslog" command line parameter
will be enabled only by those who actually want to have it - Fengguang's
build robot and kernelCI (+ may be more setups).  so I'd probably assume
there are low risks here. may be I'm wrong.

I think it makes sense to have syslog's format "<%u>[timestamp] text\n"
on serial consoles (time stamp when PRINTK_TIME set; <%u> when
consoles_format=syslog set).
