[Xen-devel] [RFC][patch] console_flush()

[Jimi Xenidis <jimix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It occurs to me that since console_sync_start/stop use ++ and --  
respectively, that it was designed to be "nested" and bracket code  
segments.  If this is indeed desirable than perhaps we need another  
interface that simply flushed the console.
The only real use I can see for it is to flush after the panic  
message rather than using console_sync_start() before it.
Patch below.
thoughts?
