+Kernel Logging
+==============
+
+Drivers and other kernel components may write log messages to the default output
+(currently only VGA since it is the only display target implemented) using
+``kprintf`` in ``include/kernel/log.h``. Additional defines in the same file may
+help differentiate different types of log messages (i.e. errors, debug
+information, etc). ::
+
+    kprintf(OKAY "Something succeeded\n");
+	kprintf(ERROR "Something failed :(\n");
+	// etc, see log.h for details
