I understand what you are saying. I will change it to a pointer and
assign it to an internal shared global static buffer on
register_console(). Then we can keep the size defines private.

For the upcoming thread/atomic consoles, I will setup the sprint-buffers
differently.

Yes, atomic consoles need dedicated per-console, per-cpu, per-context
buffers. Some of these are allocated dynamically. I will revisit this
with the idea of minimizing static buffers.
