Merge branch 'core/printk' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

* 'core/printk' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  x86, generic: mark early_printk as asmlinkage
  printk: export console_drivers
  printk: remember the message level for multi-line output
  printk: refactor processing of line severity tokens
  printk: don't prefer unsuited consoles on registration
  printk: clean up recursion check related static variables
  namespacecheck: more kernel/printk.c fixes
  namespacecheck: fix kernel printk.c
