No, because "the console" can be your ordinary Linux console or over the
network or over a serial line.
You could look up the control character which clears terminals and plain
simply emit that (and the output device should behave accordingly) but I
won't do that in any case because I don't see any reason why one wants
to hide kernel messages coming out on a/the console - most of them
indicate pretty serious errors (or situations) and the last thing one
wants is to hide them.
