I didn't realise it was possible to load radeonkms after boot.
Presumably if you do that you lose even more of the boot messages when
the new console loads? Currently it appears to lose everything that was
above the top of the screen when the new driver loaded; it would be
better (if possible) if it were to keep the scrollback as well.
