The proper log level for any given printk statement is up to the
interpretation of the developer. This results in console output with
somewhat inconsistent levels of verbosity. This patch clearly defines each
log level and its use case, hopefully resulting in less ambiguity for
developers.
The concern with this patch might be that it leaves a lot of preexisting
printk statements using a log level that is inconsistent with the
description. I think that *most* statements map to these extended
definitions very nicely. The most discrepancies are between debug and
spew, but I'm willing to say that 95% of statements with a level lower than
debug are correct by these definitions.
There was some discussion dating back to 2010 on the mailing list about
renaming these constants to lose the 'BIOS_' prefix and to consolidate
some of them into a single constant. I disagree that it is necessary
to merge any of them, I think they all have unique use cases. But I do
think that if you all agree with these definitions, it might be useful to
rename them to reflect their use cases.
I also will add that I believe removing BIOS_NEVER is a good idea. I do
not see the use case, and it's used in only 4 files.

Interesting enough, console_printk was only used in a single place and
duplicated a large part of console.h which is included in the same place.
Thus, just drop console_printk.c and we're one down with console complexity

It's basically done with the following script and some manual fixup:
VARS=`grep ^define src/config/Options.lb | cut -f2 -d\ | grep -v ^CONFIG | grep -v ^COREBOOT |grep -v ^CC`
for VAR in $VARS; do
find . -name .svn -prune -o -type f -exec perl -pi -e "s/(^|[^0-9a-zA-Z_]+)$VAR($|[^0-9a-zA-Z_]+)/\1CONFIG_$VAR\2/g" {} \;
done

Set adl855pc ROM_SIZE to 1M
Other minor debug prints until we get this fixed.
We're almost as far along as we were before the Change :-)
