Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] printk: more log flag simplification

This series eliminates the LOG_CONT entirely from the printk/log code.
It builds on another series, posted earlier today:
    http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg1791665.html
This series was originally longer, but in review I was reminded
that some of the simplifications I had done were not valid.

The first patch exploits the fact that LOG_CONT and LOG_NEWLINE
are inverses, and uses LOG_NEWLINE (or its negation) anywhere
LOG_CONT is used.  As a result, LOG_CONT is no longer needed, so
it's eliminated.

The second patch improves some comments and makes a few small
code cleanups, now that it's gone through this transformation.

This series is available here:
    http://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/broadcom/kernel.git
    Branch review/more-printk-flags-v2
It is based on branch review/printk-flags-v6 in that same repository.

Alex Elder (2):
  printk: kill LOG_CONT
  printk: improve some commentary; tidy up
