they are not sent by syslog process. They are sent by kernel.

Chmm, nazdar Matúši, I thought that "k" in sysklogd means, that sysklogd
should manage kernel messages as well?

klogd only fetches messages from kernel and pushes them to syslogd (well, it
can decode some informations, but that's irelevant). sysklogd was a package
containing both syslogd and klogd, they are separate now.

And yes, I hate these messages as well.

those messages are printed by kernel to the current console(s).
'dmesg -n' configures messages of which level to print to the console(s).
They all are still send to kmsg, where syslogd,syslog-ng or klogd read them
from.

syslog-ng (I use it) startup script can set up that level, configured in
/etc/default/syslog-ng. I have set it to 4:

# log level of messages which should go to console
# see klogctl(8) or <linux/kernel.h> for details
#
CONSOLE_LOG_LEVEL=4
