hello;

rtlinux takes over the interrupts from linux.
printk causes an interrupt so it can display
to the console, be output the serial port, and/or
logged to a /var/log/ log file. this causes race
conditions and a catch-22. debugging an interrupt
handler with printks is sort of self-defeating.
that is why there is the rtl_printf.
