Adding locking would be easy enough, wouldn't it?
But do any platforms really boot a second CPU before switching to real
printk? Given that I see all the smpboot stuff in dmesg, I guess real
printk happens first. I admit I haven't actually checked.
adding locking also makes things more fragile in terms of getting the last
thing out
before you go down in flaming death....
until it's a proven problem, this early, get the message out at all is more
important
than getting it out perfectly, sometimes.
