The current printk stuff is a mess. Yinghai at least tried to clean
this up, but his tree diverged and so we have an even bigger mess.

Look at current svn and see the horror:
./src/arch/ppc/include/printk.h is a subset of
./src/include/console/console.h is a subset of
./src/arch/i386/lib/console.c
Duplicated code everywhere.

Suggestion: Look at the diff between LB-svn/src/arch/i386/lib/console.c
and LB-yhlu/src/arch/i386/lib/console_printk.c and see that moving code
between files helps readability. I can prepare a patch without functional
changes if anyone agrees.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
