Subject: [PATCH] printk: add printk_delay to make messages readable for some
scenarios
When syslog is not possible, at the same time there's no serial/net console
available, it will be hard to read the printk messages.
For example oops/panic/warning messages in shutdown phase.
Here add a printk delay feature, we can make each printk message
delay some milliseconds.
Setting the delay by proc/sysctl interface: /proc/sys/kernel/printk_delay
The value range from 0 - 10000, default value is 0
