Thanks for the comments. How about changing the name to console_suspend?
If changing it to no_console_suspend, we can't map the input to console_suspend_enabled
directly.

We are enabling some power features on medfield. To test suspend-2-RAM
conveniently, we need turn on/off console_suspend_enabled frequently.

Below patch adds a module parameter, so users could change it by:
/sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend
