Re: [PATCH 1/3] Provide console_suspend() and console_resume()

[Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>]

Add console_suspend() and console_resume() methods so the serial drivers
can disable console output before suspending a port, and re-enable output
afterwards.

We also add locking to ensure that we synchronise with any in-progress
printk.
