Sub-second precision, and the same in 'dmesg' output.

There may be a way to get /var/log/messages to show sub-second
precision, but at least it is not enabled by default on the systems
I use.  dmesg has no timestamps at all from what I can tell.

Things like ath9k debugging typically do not go to /var/log/messages
at all, so I was stuck using dmesg (I'll post a similar patch for ath9k
debugging in case someone likes it.)

The format I chose matches wpa_supplicant logs as well, which I found
useful.

Thanks,
Ben
