    hvc_xen: add earlycon support · 16e506ef
    Stefano Stabellini authored
    Introduce EARLYCON support in hvc_xen, useful for early debugging on arm
    and arm64, where xen early_printk is not available.
    
    It is different from xenboot_write_console on x86 in two ways:
    
    - it does not return if !xen_pv_domain(), not only because ARM guests
      are xen_hvm_domain(), but also because we want to capture all the
      early boot messages, before xen support is discovered
    - it does not try to print to the domU console at all, because xen
      support will only be discovered at a later point
