My bad.  One of my local machines here is running different console
code, from one of the other BSDs, which needs initialization.  The
resource_int_value() stuff used by the serial console during cninit()
doesn't depend on tunables only set during SI_SUB_TUNABLES.

I'm wrong, and you and Peter are correct, for the current FreeBSD.

I would still recommend, however, that people *not* do console I/O
before SI_SUB_CONSOLE has run, if they want their code to be portable.
