printk: add interfaces for external access to the log buffer

Browse Source 
Add two new functions for reading the kernel log buffer.  The intention is for
them to be used by recovery/dump/debug code so the kernel log can be easily
retrieved/parsed in a crash scenario, but they are generic enough for other
people to dream up other fun uses.
