OK.

Those don't serve the same purpose as we're trying to do.

These are only for the final "I'm done and everything is success or 
failure or warning" - and they only go to the pre-boot console (in 
practice).

We need things which also allow informative messages, debug messages, 
and which don't (in practice) print funny reverse video thing, and which 
don't go to the pre-boot console.

They are related, but serve different purposes.
