Subject[RFC][PATCH 0/7] improve printk reliability
Hi,

So these are my current efforts to make my own console output more
reliable. I've hit every deadlock described in this series and a few
more.

With these patches applied I can printk() and WARN() from inside
scheduler context and not have my machine deadlock, even without the
aid of early_printk().

While I'll go an remove the sole printk() I found in the scheduler
so that we don't have to rely on the console doing this, it is good
to have a reliable console that can do this.

As it stands some of the patches, the semaphore one in particular,
are really too ugly to live so I won't push those but wanted to share
anyway.

Debugging this was 'fun', and I really hope to not have to do it
again :-)
