Hi Guenter,

I wanted to check where we are at... at the very least we should drop
messages issued before initialization when isVGA != 1.

Since serial ports require initialization, I really don't want to send
messages to the serial port before the port has been initialized, but
obviously it would be good to initialize earlyprintk as early as at all
possible.
