There may be console drivers that have not yet figured out a way to implement safe atomic printing (->write_atomic() callback). These drivers could choose to only implement threaded printing (->write_thread() callback), but then it is guaranteed that _no_ output will be printed during panic. Not even attempted. As a result, developers may be tempted to implement unsafe ->write_atomic() callbacks and/or implement some sort of custom deferred printing trickery to try to make it work. This goes against the principle intention of the nbcon API as well as endangers other nbcon drivers that are doing things correctly (safely). As a compromise, allow nbcon drivers to implement unsafe ->write_atomic() callbacks by providing a new console flag CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE. When specified, the ->write_atomic() callback for that console will _only_ be called during the final "hope and pray" flush attempt at the end of a panic: nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe().
