slow down printk during boot

Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.

Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.

It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
usually a valuable clue.

config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
help
This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
using "boot_delay=N".
It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
the "loops per jiffie" value.
See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP to detect
what it believes to be lockup conditions.
