Subject: [PATCH 0/5] usb_debug driver improvements

After using a USB 2.0 debug device along with the early and standard
usb_debug driver, I came up with some patches to help improve the
functionality of using it with the linux kernel.

The last patch in this series is not meant for upstream merging, it is
marked experimental along with questions.  The first 4 patches in the
series are a request for review, comments and future merge
consideration.

The idea behind this patch series is to allow the USB 2.0 debug device
to operate as both an early printk device and a system console with
the full capability for sysrq.

After resolving the issue with the last patch in the series work can
progress against adding a debugger interface via this connection as
well.

Thanks,
Jason.
