Replace comments about places where the console lock should be held with
calls to WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() to assert that it is actually held.
Why replace the comments? I prefer them, even with the WARN. The reason
is, when using functions, I don't tend to look inside the function I'm
about to use, but instead, I expect the comment above the function to
have basic information I need to use it. Especially what locks are
expected to be held.

Please keep the comments in place, but the WARNs are fine. They are not
a replacement for the comments.

Nack on removing comments.
Ok, I will submit a v4 with the comments left in place.

Regards,

Hans
