Please can you add these to the README?

Also I wonder if it is safe to have boards setting the buffer address.
Should not arch/xxx/lib/board.c work this out based on
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR as it does all the other memory areas?

The division here sticks in the craw, but unless we go with
CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ_LOG2 then I don't see an easy way around it, and
since this is serial output we can't honestly claim to worry much
about performance.

Gosh this is clever - perhaps a little comment?
