Process softirqs while printing end of boot warnings. Each warning can
be several lines long, and on slow consoles printing multiple ones
without processing softirqs can result in the watchdog triggering:

(XEN) [ 22.417802] WARNING: CONSOLE OUTPUT IS SYNCHRONOUS
(XEN) [ 22.556029] This option is intended to aid debugging of Xen by ensuring
(XEN) [ 22.696802] that all output is synchronously delivered on the serial
line.
(XEN) [ 22.838024] However it can introduce SIGNIFICANT latencies and affect
(XEN) [ 22.978710] timekeeping. It is NOT recommended for production use!
