Andrew, the only bits of the kernel/printk.c that are supposed to get
to your tree are related to is_console_locked() at this point. The
force_printk_to_btext is a debug tool that allow to route all printk's
to some early-boot output mecanism, though it would eventually be
acceptable upstream with Geert's idea of arch_printk...

That's OK, it's just in there for a soak-test at present - this stuff is
quite a long way away, yes?

It's probably just easiest for you to work against current -bk, send me a
single rolled up patch whenever you have new things for people to test. 
When we're happy with it all we can do a bk merge of everything.
