The only serial port on this machine is usb serial, which doesn't have io ports.

And because it relies on usb being initialized, this probably isn't
going to help too much with early boot.
earlyprintk=tty0 didn't show anything extra after the sysrq-c oops.
likewise, =ttyUSB0
I'm going to try bisecting the problem I'm debugging again, so I'm not
going to dig into this much more today.
