[PATCH 0/2] console_lock debug improvements

Hi all,

After Dave Airlie blew through a few days to track down a deadlock at boot-up
when handing over from the firmware fb to the kms/drm framebuffer driver (1), I've
figured that lockdep /should/ have caught this.

And indeed, by adding proper annotations to the console_lock it complains about
the potential deadlock when exercising the entire driver life-cycle of just one
fb driver (i.e. not even a handover required). While at it, I've replaced the
existing in_interrupt check with the more paranoid might_sleep.

Comments, flames and review highly welcome.

Yours, Daniel
