Also note that the earlyprintk stuff should largely make this irrelevant for most people. The cases where the earlyprintk code ends up being useless is primarily with memory initialization or getting the serial port up on a new CPU (although the latter case is not so exceptional anymore), so it's quite possible that simply turning off the sh-bios stuff and using the earlyprintk code as-is will be sufficient for you to get early messages.
