IMHO, we could not longer enter vprintk_emit() recursively. The same
section that was guarded by logbuf_cpu is guarded by
alt_printk_enter()/exit() now.
IMHO, we could remove all the logic around the recursion. Then we
could even disable/enable irqs inside alt_printk_enter()/exit().
And to correct myself from the previous mail. It is enough to disable
IRQs. It is enough to make sure that we will not preempt and will
stay on the same CPU.

We should mention that this patch makes an obsolete artefact from
printk_deferred(). It opens the door for another big cleanup and
relief.
