I believe we should do the 2 seconds rule. It allows us to print "some
messages delayed" message, so at least whoever is trying to debug the
crash will have the hints that he needs to look at the printk system.
"we always offload, as long as we think it's safe" rule does not
really work, as printk() can not detect if it is safe or not.
