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.
yes, we can drop serial bits from early_printk.c, and use drivers/serial/8250_early.c and with "earlycon=uart,io,0x3f8,9600n8", "early=ueart,mmio,0xfe000000,9600n8" and we can extend other non 8250 compatitable uart to some *_early.c in the same dir. So other platform and other uart could be happy to get early console.
