I agree that printk is fragile and your patches are likely fine for machine
where you do kernel development. However for production servers with
hundreds of SCSI LUNs assigned I don't think it is a viable solution - I'm
pretty sure those machines would take ages to boot (if they ever boot) with
early_printk implementation. So do you intend this as "the ultimate printk
solution" or just a "kernel developers debugging aid"? :)
