Add documentation in kerneldoc for new printk format extensions
This patch documents the new %pS/%pF options in printk in kernel doc.
Hope I didn't miss any other extension.

All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages
(callbacks) will be lost.
For example:
a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1)
b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will
will be supressed.
- rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter. Thanks for
hints from andrew.
- Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h
- remove __printk_ratelimit
- use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit

* 'core/printk' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
x86, generic: mark early_printk as asmlinkage
printk: export console_drivers
printk: remember the message level for multi-line output
printk: refactor processing of line severity tokens
printk: don't prefer unsuited consoles on registration
printk: clean up recursion check related static variables
namespacecheck: more kernel/printk.c fixes
namespacecheck: fix kernel printk.c
It's not explicitly marked as asmlinkage, but invoked from x86_32
startup code with parameters on stack.
No other architectures define early_printk and none of them are affected
by this change, since defines asmlinkage as empty token.

Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).
This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc
did that for us.
Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.
Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
game is over.
Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

printk(KERN_ALERT "Danger Will Robinson!\nAlien Approaching!\n");
At present this will result in one message at ALERT level and one
at the current default message loglevel (e.g. WARNING). This is
non-intuitive.
Modify vprintk() to remember the message loglevel each time it
is specified and use it for subsequent lines of output which do
not specify one, within the same call to printk.

Restructure the logic of vprintk() so the processing of the leading
3 characters of each input line is in one place, regardless whether
printk_time is enabled. This makes the code smaller and easier to
understand.
size reduction in kernel/printk.o:
text data bss dec hex filename
6157 397 1049804 1056358 101e66 printk.o.before
6117 397 1049804 1056318 101e3e printk.o.after
and some style uncleanlinesses removed as well as a side-effect:
Before:
total: 19 errors, 22 warnings, 1340 lines checked
After:
total: 17 errors, 22 warnings, 1333 lines checked

console election: If some console happens to be registered first which does
not provide a tty binding (!console->device), it prevents that more suited
consoles which are registered later on can enter the candidate pool for
console_device(). This is observable with KGDB's console which may already
be registered (and exploited!) during early debugger connections, that is
before any regular console registration.
This patch fixes the issue by postponing the final, automated
preferred_console selection until someone with a non-NULL device handler
comes around.
