Subject: [PATCH printk 08/18] parisc: Put console abuse into one place

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

PARISC has a hope based mechanism to restore consoles in case of a HPMC
(machine check exception) which is scattered over several places.

Move it into one place to make further changes simpler and add comments.
