  From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The number of consoles is unknown at compile time and allocating
write contexts on stack in emergency/panic situations is not desired
either.

Allocate a write context array (one for each priority level) along
with the per CPU output buffers, thus allowing atomic contexts on
multiple CPUs and priority levels to execute simultaneously without
clobbering each other's write context.
