This may be the sensible thing to do, but something just doesn't feel
right.
Also, whatever we do here, we should try to mirror in ACPI with SPCR.
Are we guaranteed to always want to disable serial console if there is
a graphics adapter?
I still dream of a world in which I can run consplitter up to the
point where an OS takes over, and an OS installer will listen to input
from both sources and register its selection from there.
But if we can't have that, can we have a menu setting to select preference?
The default can be a platform-specific Pcd.
