Subject[PATCH v8 3/3] x86/earlyprintk: setup earlyprintk as early as possible
Date
The early_printk function is usable only after the setup_early_printk will
be executed. We pass 'earlyprintk' through the kernel command line, so it
will be usable only after the 'parse_early_param' will be executed. This means
that we have usable earlyprintk only during early boot, kernel decompression
and after call of the 'parse_early_param'. This patchset makes earlyprintk
usable before the call of the 'parse_early_param'.

This patch makes the setup_early_printk visible for head{32,64}.c. So the
'early_printk' function will be usabable after decompression of the
kernel and before parse_early_param will be called. It also must be
safe if CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL and CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE are set, because
setup_cmdline function will be called before setup_early_printk.

It provides earlyprintk only for serial console, because other needs in
ioremap which is not initialized yet.

Tested it with qemu, so early_printk() is usable and prints to serial
console right after setup_early_printk function called.
