Can you please describe the problems which suspend_console() are causing? Some runtime knob might be more appropriate. Perhaps /sys/power/debug? If the suspend_console() call is to be disabled then you'll want to disable the matching resume_console() call too. printk.c needs sem2mutex conversion. The console_suspended/secondary_console_sem handling is racy. Bad Linus. But as we're running on a single CPU and all other tasks are frozen it doesn't matter.
