IMHO it would make more sense for this to be a console option:
console=ttyS0,115200,mute
Then other consoles could still exist that are not muted.
On a side note, I am considering proposing something similar for my
printk-rework efforts. Once console printers are moved to kthreads, some
users may not care about latencies and instead prefer synchronous
printing. My idea for this is to provide a "sync" option for the
console:
console=ttyS0,115200,sync
