Subject: [PATCH 5/7] UML - Sysrq and mconsole fixes

Fix the passing of printk output back to the mconsole client.  The
existing code was somewhat confused, accumulating output in a buffer,
but writing it out entirely whenever a new chunk was added.  This is
fixed.

The earlier include cleanups caused linux/sysrq.h to not be included -
this is fixed by adding the include back, under CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ.

CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is also defaulted to on in defconfig.
