Gerd's patch (console handover) was merged into mainline. it will switch from early_printk to normal console in register_console via CON_BOOT flags.. ===> only for x86
Tagging boot consoles (aka early_printk) with CON_BOOT certainly makes sense. Just doing that doesn't work for ia64?
What is the point in making that work on x86 additionally to serial support in early_printk? It might make sense to split away the serial bits from early_printk.c and move them out of arch/ into -- say -- drivers/serial/, so other architectures can use that too and we have only one serial earlyprintk implementation in the kernel. Not sure it is worth the effort given the code size.
