Provide functions that are related to the safe handover mechanism and allow console drivers to dynamically specify unsafe regions: - nbcon_context_can_proceed() Invoked by a console owner to check whether a handover request is pending or whether the console has been taken over by another context. If a handover request is pending, this function will also perform the handover, thus cancelling its own ownership. - nbcon_context_enter_unsafe()/nbcon_context_exit_unsafe() Invoked by a console owner to denote that the driver is about to enter or leave a critical region where a take over is unsafe. The exit variant is the point where the current owner releases the lock for a higher priority context which asked for the friendly handover. The unsafe state is stored in the console state and allows a new context to make informed decisions whether to attempt a takeover of such a console. The unsafe state is also available to the driver so that it can make informed decisions about the required actions and possibly take a special emergency path.
