    parisc: Autodetect default output device and set console= kernel parameter · 5f7ee6e3
    Helge Deller authored
    Usually palo (the PA-RISC boot loader) will check at boot time if the
    machine/firmware was configured to use the serial line (ttyS0, SERIAL_x)
    or the graphical display (tty0, graph) as default output device and add
    the correct "console=ttyS0" or "console=tty0" Linux kernel parameter to
    the kernel command line when starting the Linux kernel.
    
    But the kernel could also have been started via the HP-UX boot loader
    or directly in qemu, in which cases the console parameter is missing.
    
    This patch fixes this problem by adding the correct console= parameter
    if it's missing in the current kernel command line.
