Yeah, hmmm, I wonder whether the right solution here is to bypass cont
buffer if ext_console is present.  This would use a bit more memory
and hurt users catting /proc/kmsg but everyone else should be able to
get the same result and things get a lot simpler on both sending and
receiving sides.  What do you think?

Thanks.
