Subject: [PATCH 03/11] android: ram_console: drop early buffer support

From: Colin Cross <ccross@...roid.com>

Early ramconsole is not very useful, an early crash will prevent
getting the logged data out on the next boot, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y
will get the same information.  Drop it to simplify a future
refactoring.
