[Linux-ia64] console_loglevel is broken on ia64

[Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>]

kernel/printk.c has this abomination.

/* Keep together for sysctl support */
int console_loglevel = DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL;
int default_message_loglevel = DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL;
int minimum_console_loglevel = MINIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL;
int default_console_loglevel = DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL;

sysctl assumes that the 4 variables occupy contiguous storage.  They
don't on ia64, console_loglevel is separate from the other variables.

  echo 6 4 1 7 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
  
on ia64 overwrites console_loglevel and the next 3 integers, whatever
they happen to be.  On 2.4.12 it corrupts console_sem, other ia64
kernels will corrupt different data.

Does anybody fancy a small project to clean up these variables?  They
need to become an integer array (say console_printk) containing 4
elements, which is what sysctl assumes.  All references to these fields
have to be changed to refer to the corresponding array element.  That
should be as simple as

  #define console_loglevel (console_printk[0])
  
in kernel.h, as long as no other files declare console_loglevel or the
other variables.  Alas at least two other files declare console_loglevel,
they need to be fixed to use the common declaration.  I have not
checked the other console_xxx variables for extra declarations.

  arch/parisc/kernel/traps.c:   extern int console_loglevel;
  arch/i386/mm/fault.c:extern int console_loglevel;
