I was planning on waiting until the kthreads are introduced, in which
case printk_safe.c is completely removed. But I suppose I could switch
the 1 printk_nmi_direct_enter() user to printk_nmi_enter() so that
PRINTK_NMI_DIRECT_CONTEXT_MASK can be removed now. I would do this in a
4th patch of the series.
