Try Documentation/proc.txt and look at the values in
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk 
6       4       1       7

It looks as if kernel/printk.c defines the starting values of these
numbers. Then you could restore the right ones with echo > the above.
Of course, I'm just making this all up. Disclaimers etc...
