Dear Graeme Russ,
In message 1314874326-10231-1-git-send-email-graeme.russ@gmail.com you wrote:
Allow redirection of console output prior to console initialisation to a temporary buffer.
To enable this functionality, the board (or arch) must define:
- CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER - Enable pre-console buffer
- CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR - Base address of pre-console buffer
- CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ - Size of pre-console buffer (in bytes)
The pre-console buffer will buffer the last CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ bytes Any earlier characters are silently dropped.

Grrrr - Repost of V5 with an SoB. There has to be a better way of automating patch updates ;)
Changes since V4
- Fixed typo in README
- Made *pre_console* functions in console.c static
- Slight tweak to commit message - Some may choose to set the configuration defines at the arch level
Changes since V3
- Fixed blank subject caused by gap between the Cc: list and Date:
Changes since V2
- Cast buffer size to unsigned long to help compilers produce tighter code
- Use inline stub functions to reduce #ifdef clutter
- Add documentation to README
Changes Since V1
- Implemented circular buffer
- Trivial code styl corrections
