This patch creates console devices specifically for use during early
boot, and registers them so that printk() output may be seen prior
to console_init().

The patch is available from:

	ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/wli/early_printk/


Included are i386 config options, early VGA text output, and early i386
serial output.


Cheers,
Bill
