commit 2482a92e7d17187301d7313cfe5021b13393a0b4 upstream.

The earlyprintk for Xen PV guests utilizes a simple hypercall
(console_io) to provide output to Xen emergency console.

Note that the Xen hypervisor should be booted with 'loglevel=all'
to output said information.

Commit dfb09f9b7ab0 ("x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties
on AMD family 15h") introduced a kernel command line parameter
called 'align_va_addr' which still refers to arguments used in
an earlier version of the patch and which got changed without
updating the documentation. Correct that omission.

We are enabling some power features on medfield.  To test suspend-2-RAM
conveniently, we need turn on/off console_suspend_enabled frequently.

Add a module parameter, so users could change it by:
