KERN_EMERG as I know broadcasts on all open sessions on a machine.

Thanks,

First, are you very sure that the if statement will be true, and that
your printk will be executed? 

Second, I believe KERN_EMERG prints to your terminal. Perhaps your
syslogd logs those that are of KERN_DEBUG.

Looks interesting. I look forward to what you are working on. Keep me
updated.
