Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.
Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.
new command line will be:
console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
it will print in very early stage:
Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

console.name[] is eight chars, but so is "earlyvga". So when we try to print
console->name when using earlyvga it runs off the end of the string.
Make it bigger.

The framebuffer console is now able to dynamically bind and unbind from the VT
console layer. Due to the way the VT console layer works, the drivers
themselves decide when to bind or unbind. However, it was decided that
binding must be controlled, not by the drivers themselves, but by the VT
console layer. With this, dynamic binding is possible for all VT console
drivers, not just fbcon.
Thus, the VT console layer will impose the following to all VT console
drivers:
- all registered VT console drivers will be entered in a private list
- drivers can register themselves to the VT console layer, but they cannot
decide when to bind or unbind. (Exception: To maintain backwards
compatibility, take_over_console() will automatically bind the driver after
registration.)
- drivers can remove themselves from the list by unregistering from the VT
console layer. A prerequisite for unregistration is that the driver must not
be bound.
The following functions are new in the vt.c:
register_con_driver() - public function, this function adds the VT console
driver to an internal list maintained by the VT console
bind_con_driver() - private function, it binds the driver to the console
take_over_console() is changed to call register_con_driver() followed by a
bind_con_driver(). This is the only time drivers can decide when to bind to
the VT layer. This is to maintain backwards compatibility.
unbind_con_driver() - private function, it unbinds the driver from its
console. The vacated consoles will be taken over by the default boot console
driver.
unregister_con_driver() - public function, removes the driver from the
internal list maintained by the VT console. It will only succeed if the
driver is currently unbound.
con_is_bound() checks if the driver is currently bound or not
give_up_console() is just a wrapper to unregister_con_driver().
There are also 3 additional functions meant to be called only by the tty layer
for sysfs control:
vt_bind() - calls bind_con_driver()
vt_unbind() - calls unbind_con_driver()
vt_show_drivers() - shows the list of registered drivers
Most VT console drivers will continue to work as is, but might have problems
when unbinding or binding which should be fixable with minimal changes.

Currently printk is no use for early debugging because it refuses to
actually print anything to the console unless
cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) is true.
The stated explanation is that console drivers may require per-cpu
resources, or otherwise barf, because the system is not yet setup
correctly. Fair enough.
However some console drivers might be quite happy running early during
boot, in fact we have one, and so it'd be nice if printk understood that.
So I added a flag (which I would have called CON_BOOT, but that's taken)
called CON_ANYTIME, which indicates that a console is happy to be called
anytime, even if the cpu is not yet online.
Tested on a Power 5 machine, with both a CON_ANYTIME driver and a bogus
console driver that BUG()s if called while offline. No problems AFAICT.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
