earlyprintk is useful when the kernel crashes before
the normal console is initialized. It is not enabled by
default because it has some cosmetic problems.
- Only 32-bit memory addresses are supported for "mmio"
- and "pciserial" devices.
-
Use "nocfg" to skip UART configuration, assume
BIOS/firmware has configured UART correctly.
