printk: implement support for extended console drivers

printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its
sequence number and timestamp. The metadata is currently available only
through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers. We
want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console
consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary,
which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost
in transit.

This patch implements support for extended console drivers. Consoles can
indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED
flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.

"<level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>\n"

If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled. This
ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including
sequence number. The contflag carries enough information to reassemble
the fragments from the reader side trivially. Note that this only affects
/dev/kmsg. Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by
this change.

* Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there
are registered extended consoles.

* Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing
contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.

Merge commit 'a849088aa1' from rmk/fixes into cleanup/io-pci

As Stephen Rothwell reports, a849088aa155 ("ARM: Fix ioremap() of
address zero") from the arm-current tree and commit c2794437091a ("ARM:
Add fixed PCI i/o mapping") from the arm-soc tree conflict in
a nontrivial way in arch/arm/mm/mmu.c.

Rob Herring explains:
The PCI i/o reserved area has a dummy physical address of 0 and
needs to be skipped by ioremap searches. So we don't set
VM_ARM_STATIC_MAPPING to prevent matches by ioremap. The vm_struct
settings don't really matter when we do the real mapping of the
i/o space.

Since commit a849088aa155 is at the start of the fixes branch
in the arm tree, we can merge it into the branch that contains
the other ioremap changes.
