I am sorry for abandoning this patch. Hmm, I am a bit unsure about it now.

The printk_safe context partly prevents recursion problems when
console drivers print messages. I expected that this patch
would have been pushed together with a better solution for
the recursion. But we still do not have any.

Would you mind to keep it on hold for now? I know that it might
help in some situations. But it also makes the code more complicated
and there is some risk of a regression. I would prefer when it
is pushed in a situation when it is a clear win.
