Subject[PATCH] kernel/printk: do not turn off bootconsole in printk_late_init if keep_bootcon
Date
It seems that commit 7bf693951a8e5f7e600a45b74d91d962a453146e doesn't
always achieve what it aims, as printk_late_init() runs it
unconditionally turns off all boot consoles. With this patch, I am able
to see more messages on the boot console in KVM guests than I can
without, when keep_bootcon is specified.
