Hi,

Recently while running LTP , i found that the system had generated many
kernel messages worth investigating. However, there was a loose gap to
find out which test exactly was responsible for that message.

So, i thought it could be worth to create a framework in LTP to log kernel
messages for each test, to pinpoint exact messages created per test, for
better debugging. The following patch adds a option to LTP and runs a
old style script ;-) to achieve that. All this is done at the runltp level
without any distrubance to ltp-pan. Messages can be logged at:
1) Absolute path(s) as specified by the user, else
2) Inside $LTPROOT/output/

Comments welcome.
