[PATCH v3] xen/console: make console buffer size configurable
Posted by dmkhn@proton.me 3 days, 6 hours ago
From: Denis Mukhin <dmukhin@ford.com>

Add new CONRING_SHIFT Kconfig parameter to specify the boot console buffer size
as a power of 2.

The supported range is [14..27] -> [16KiB..128MiB].

Set default to 15 (32 KiB).
