No. nfs_msg() tries to write to the controlling terminal of the
process related to the I/O it's talking about. It's not trying to log
anything, so of course it doesn't get logged.

Because it's unnecessary; you have the timestamps in the system
logfiles if you need them, otherwise they are just a space-wasting
nuisance. Computing any time other than seconds-from-epoch in the
kernel is _wrong_.
