[PATCH 5/7] UML - Sysrq and mconsole fixes

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Thu Aug 23 2007 - 17:41:41 EST


Fix the passing of printk output back to the mconsole client. The
existing code was somewhat confused, accumulating output in a buffer,
but writing it out entirely whenever a new chunk was added. This is
fixed.

The earlier include cleanups caused linux/sysrq.h to not be included -
this is fixed by adding the include back, under CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ.

CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is also defaulted to on in defconfig.
