It seems that the driver inside the vt_console failed to grab a lock,
and this will output, since printk does a raw_spin_lock_irqsave that
seems to also do a preempt_disable. (the kmallocs are GFP_ATOMIC).
it's vprintk keeping preemption disabled, and then calling the console drivers, which may reschedule. The patch below should solve this.
