There are lots of solutions to this: 1) queue the printk's 2) add an in-kernel path for write to console that cooperates with the normal user space one 3) if you know you are going to be debugging code like this, use an alternative solution like the serial port or a second video card running framebuffer., You can't see a kernel oops from an interrupt when running XWindows any way. I'm sure an expert kernel hacker can come up with 10 more solutions.
