[PATCH 0/2] printk: Introduce loglevel bypass for pstore console

[Tzung-Bi Shih]

Currently, offline consoles (e.g., pstore_console backed by ramoops)
inherit the system's global console_loglevel.

In production environments, physical serial consoles (UARTs) are often
heavily rate-limited to prevent verbose messages from causing severe
execution bottlenecks.  Unfortunately, this identically silences the
pstore console.  When a kernel panic or lockup occurs, engineers are
left inspecting a crash dump that has been stripped of the verbose logs
that could have identified the root cause.

This series introduces CON_BYPASS_LOGLEVEL, a simple flag that allows
specialized offline consoles to request unsuppressed logs directly.

Patch 1 introduces the CON_BYPASS_LOGLEVEL flag.
Patch 2 adopts the flag in pstore_console.
