[RFC PATCH v1 15/25] printk: print history for new consoles

[John Ogness]

When new consoles register, they currently print how many messages
they have missed. However, many (or all) of those messages may still
be in the ring buffer. Add functionality to print as much of the
history as available. This is a clean replacement of the old
exclusive console hack.
