This is second attempt [1] to get rid of problematic DMA and PM calls
in the serial kernel console code.

Kernel console is sensitive to any kind of complex work needed to print
out anything on it. One such case is emergency print during Oops.

Patches 1-3 are preparatory ones.

After previous discussion Tony suggested to add a possibility to detach
and attach back kernel console from user space. It's done on patch 4 here.

More details on topic are in the commit messages of patches 5 and 6.

Patches 7 and 8 are deduplicate follow ups to patch 6.

The series has been tested on few Intel platforms.

Note, it depends to recently submitted and applied patches in the core
console code [2].
