Subject[PATCH v2] printk: add halt_delay parameter for printk delay in halt phase
From
Add a halt_delay module parameter in printk.c used to read the printk
messages in halt/poweroff/restart phase, delay each printk messages
by halt_delay milliseconds. It is useful for debugging if there's no
other way to dump kernel messages that time.

The halt_delay max value is 65535, default value is 0, change it by:

echo xxx > /sys/module/printk/parameters/halt_delay
