[PATCH] make disable_console_suspend runtime configurable

[Stefan Seyfried]

I hate having to recompile the kernel, just to be able to debug suspend.
Remove CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, replace it by a sysctl in
/proc/sys/kernel/disable_console_suspend.

Patch is against 2.6.22-rc4

 In case the STD does not work on your system even in the minimal configuration
 and compiling more drivers as modules is not practical or some modules cannot
 be unloaded, you can use one of the more advanced debugging techniques to find
