+           Reset any Console Redirection to default system settings (0)
+           when the MDB debugger is active.  The Debugger will restore
+           the redirection to the custom settings when the debugger
+           is exited.  This feature is useful on systems which by default
+           redirect printk output and the screen debugger output to a log
+           file or system device, which can prevent the debugger screen from
+           being visible.  Enabling this feature does not affect or disable
+           remote operations via serial port.  It is recommended to enable
+           this feature by default if intensive debugging is intended for
+           the target system.
