Message:

avoid spinlocks to be taken in the direct code path to physically outputing kconsole characters to the framebuffer (this fixes ticket #243)
the spinlock in printf() (kernel) was sacrificed, this might lead potentially to scrambled kconsole output
the hack of ignoring spinlocks whose names start with "*" in the livelock detector can be removed
