Looks like we're missing the stdout-path for earlycon, maybe try
with the following patch? I can't find my Beagleboard-xm right now,
time to clean-up a bit I guess.

At least omap3-evm, logicpd-torpedo and n900 all boot with PREEMPT.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: Add missing earlycon UART for Beagleboard

We can get early boot messages if CONFIG_SERIAL_EARLYCON=y is set, and
kernel commandline has debug earlycon. But we're missing the related dts
entry for Beagleboard.

Note: Untested, I can't find my Beagleboard-XM right now..
