I threw caution to the wind and tried this. Id didn't seem to help. I
don't seem the messages about unregistering the old console, but I still
never get any output. The only "xe" gunk in dmesg is:

> [    0.739464] xe 0000:00:02.0: GuC firmware xe/ptl_guc_70.bin not found, can be downloaded from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
> [    0.739501] xe 0000:00:02.0: probe with driver xe failed with error -2

BTW, "xe.force_probe=!*" on the command-line also gets the output back
to normal.
