+ bool "Force flush the console on restart"
+ help
+ If the console is locked while the system is rebooted, the messages
+ in the temporary logbuffer would not have propogated to all the
+ console drivers. This option forces the console lock to be
+ released if it failed to be acquired, which will cause all the
+ pending messages to be flushed.
