      Description of problem:

      After freshly installing a RHEL9 minimal system (so, with runtime journal only and standard journal settings) and setting the loglevel to debug ("systemd.log_level=debug"), I see multiple times the following messages on the console:
      -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
      [ 59.714076] systemd-journald[697]: Data hash table of /run/log/journal/6e07b59bccc94c8bb84abf4f95c9cbda/system.journal has a fill level at 75.0 (6049 of 8064 items, 4644864 file size, 767 bytes per hash table item), suggesting rotation.
      [ 59.717640] systemd-journald[697]: /run/log/journal/6e07b59bccc94c8bb84abf4f95c9cbda/system.journal: Journal header limits reached or header out-of-date, rotating.
      -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

      Stracing systemd early during the boot, it appears that *systemd-journald is supposed to log this at INFO level but never send this to the console.
      I can see however the following trace, showing it's sending to /dev/kmsg:
      -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
      697 15:31:53.315917 writev(6</dev/kmsg<char 1:11>>, [

      {iov_base="<46>", iov_len=4}, {iov_base="systemd-journald", iov_len=16}, {iov_base="[697]: ", iov_len=7}, {iov_base="Data hash table of /run/log/journal/6e07b59bccc94c8bb84abf4f95c9cbda/system.journal has a fill level at 75.0 (6049 of 8064 items"..., iov_len=201}, {iov_base="\n", iov_len=1}], 5 <unfinished ...>
      :
