Uff, it seems that the current design is "good" at lest from some points of view.
yep yep
len = vprintk_store(0, LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT, NULL, 0, fmt, args);raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock);defer_console();return len;- }
So, maybe, something a bit better than defer_console().
I am not super happy with the name either. But wakeup_console(), schedule_console(), or queue_console() looked confusing.
Hmm. defer_console() makes me think that we are dealing with that fbcon=nodefer and deferred console takeover thing here.
So I summon Mr. Rostedt!
Does schedule_console_output() look bad? What about defer_console_output()? Any other ideas?
