printk: add module parameter ignore_loglevel to control ignore_loglevel
We are enabling some power features on medfield. To test suspend-2-RAM conveniently, we need turn on/off ignore_loglevel frequently without rebooting. Add a module parameter, so users can change it by: /sys/module/printk/parameters/ignore_loglevel Signed-off-by: Yanmin Zhang <yanmin.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

ignore_loglevel [KNL]
Ignore loglevel setting - this will print /all/
kernel messages to the console. Useful for debugging.
+ We also add it as printk module parameter, so users
