conmux: initial import of the Console Multiplexor
Import the Console Multiplexor (CONMUX) subsystem, developed by
the IBM Linux Technology Center. CONMUX is a console abstractor,
presenting any console with a consistent location, naming and
semantic. Access to the console and hardreset of the machine is
the same regardless of the underlying access methodology.
Through this abstraction we create a simple and consistent interface
to disparate consoles simplifying programatic use of the console.
This provides for easy integration of console handling into a
test harness. This allow CONMUX to be used to capture Linux kernel
messages only available on the external system console, as well
as providing a framework for detecting, diagnosing and rescuing
paniced and hung systems.
