There has been several discussions about dealing with rtas events.  I
beleive the netlink issue dealt with the getting rtas events to
rtas_errd in user space.  This patch just provides a switch to turn
on/off (via /proc or a boot parameter) the reporting of rtas events to
/var/log/messages and should have no effect on rtas events going to
rtas_errd or nvram.
