To some extent, what we want here is a way for kernel-generated
messages to be sent back to the user that generated them. There's no
reason for the system-wide log to record quota violations, but the
user responsible cares. Similarly, tape-read errors are more of
concern to the user who is using the tape drive than the system
administrator.
