"Not a regression."

With the help of Jeremy Fitzhardinge, Andi Kleen and Olaf Hering,
I was able to isolate the cause. It lies outside the kernel, in
the distribution's init script. So the entry can be dropped.

Thanks,
Tilman

This was fixed by ensuring that machvex is set up before the
serial console
