Ron? Marc? Can anyone check this on real hardware?
The printk buffer is located in Geode LX memory:
- while CAR is enabled: starting at 0x80000 (CONFIG_CARBASE) size 16k
(CONFIG_CARSIZE / 2)
- after CAR is disabled: starting at 0x90000 size 64k

Still to be done, but not really the scope of the patch.

Run qemu with "-monitor stdio", then press "C-a c" on the console and
issue this command:
memsave 0x90000 65536 memdump.bin
memdump.bin now contains the printk message buffer (inlcuding header).

To be solved. Not necessary for merge.

New patch with printk buffer as default-on Kconfig variable. Stack
checking removed, can be introduced in a separate patch. Lots of cleanup
and correctness fixes.
Tested on Qemu, should work on Geode as well.
