while we are on this, what do you guys think?


CPU1 CPU2
console_unlock()
call_console_drivers()
con->write()
... spin_lock ... uart, etc panic

zap_lock() will raw_spin_lock_init(&logbuf_lock) and
sema_init(&console_sem, 1), but we still have `spin_lock'
held by con->write().

so the `panic' flush or print out will see con->write() being already
blocked.


===8<====

We do zap_lock() in printk to make a panic print out possible, but we
can end up having a locked serial console - e.g. panic has occurred
whilst CPUx was in con->write(), which takes some internal locks, thus
call_console_drivers() will perform con->write() on an already locked
console.

Try to reset() every console in zap_lock() via console specific
->reset() call.
