The previous code does a full flush of the uart after every character.
Unfortunately, this can cause transmission delays on some serial
ports.
This patch changes the code so that it does a flush at the end of
every printk instead of at the end of every character. This reduces
the time it takes to transmit serial messages (up to 9% on my Asrock
e350m1 board). It also makes the transmission time more consistent
which is important when performing timing tests via serial
transmissions.

example.
This newer version reflects the recent changes to further simplify the console
code and partly gets rid of some hacks in the previous version.
