Subject: [PATCH printk v1 07/18] printk: nobkl: Add buffer management

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

In case of hostile takeovers it must be ensured that the previous
owner cannot scribble over the output buffer of the emergency/panic
context. This is achieved by:

 - Adding a global output buffer instance for early boot (pre per CPU
   data being available).

 - Allocating an output buffer per console for threaded printers once
   printer threads become available.

 - Allocating per CPU output buffers per console for printing from
   all contexts not covered by the other buffers.

 - Choosing the appropriate buffer is handled in the acquire/release
   functions.

The output buffer is wrapped into a separate data structure so other
context related fields can be added in later steps.
