    Is there a guarantee that what you will printk will be strictly
    in the kernel, or perhaps something from the user space?

    For complete generality, you may need to keep in mind that
    implicit I/O could occur if you were to go outside the bounds
    of the kernel to the user space. Therefor, the description is
    OK.

    Does this make sense?
