Prevent dropping console output from the hardware domain, since it's
likely important to have all the output if the boot fails without
having to resort to sync_console (which also affects the output from
other guests).
Do so by pairing the console_serial_puts() with
serial_{start,end}_log_everything(), so that no output is dropped.
Note that such calls are placed inside of a section already protected
by the console_lock so there are no concurrent callers that could
abuse of the setting of serial_start_log_everything().
