hvc_xen: add earlycon support
Introduce EARLYCON support in hvc_xen, useful for early debugging on arm and arm64, where xen early_printk is not available. It is different from xenboot_write_console on x86 in two ways: - it does not return if !xen_pv_domain(), not only because ARM guests are xen_hvm_domain(), but also because we want to capture all the early boot messages, before xen support is discovered - it does not try to print to the domU console at all, because xen support will only be discovered at a later point Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com>
