Hello,

Here is a series to move dictionary properties (currently only
SUBSYSTEM and DEVICE exist) into the meta data of a record,
thus eliminating the need for the dict ring. This change
affects how the dictionaries are stored, but does not affect
how they are presented to userspace.

The main purpose of the change is to address concerns [0]
about the reliability of dictionary properties as well as
allowing to efficiently expand the type and number of
properties available [1].

This series is based heavily on the proof of concept [2] from
Petr Mladek. (Petr, feel free to add Co-developed-by tags.)

The series is based on the printk-rework branch of the printk git                                          
tree:
