[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2] hvc_xen: add earlycon support

[Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Introduce EARLYCON support in hvc_xen, useful for early debugging on arm
and arm64, where xen early_printk is not available. Differently from
xenboot_write_console on x86, we won't just return if !xen_pv_domain(),
because arm and arm64 guests are actually xen_hvm_domain() from linux
pov, and also because we want to capture all possible writes, including
the ones earlier than xen_early_init().
