Tagging boot consoles (aka early_printk) with CON_BOOT certainly makes
sense. Just doing that doesn't work for ia64?
What is the point in making that work on x86 additionally to serial
support in early_printk? It might make sense to split away the serial
bits from early_printk.c and move them out of arch/ into -- say --
drivers/serial/, so other architectures can use that too and we have
only one serial earlyprintk implementation in the kernel. Not sure it
is worth the effort given the code size.
cheers,
Gerd
