        [PATCH 1/2] printk: add support for lockless ringbuffer
    
        * Required for kernel 5.10
    
        Linux 5.10 introduces a new lockless ringbuffer. The new ringbuffer
        is structured completely different to the previous iterations.
        Add support for retrieving the ringbuffer from debug information
        and/or using vmcoreinfo. The new ringbuffer is detected based on
        the availability of the "prb" symbol.
