It's not.  The kernel has generated those messages already.  They just
don't get timestamped or show up in the logs until the klog (kernel logger)
process has a chance to pull them out of the memory buffer and write them
to disk.  Since named starts right after klog, it's getting its data onto
the disk first.  That's all.
