What does this change do, and what is the reason for it??

for earlyprintk=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8

the handover will happen from earlyser0 to tty0. but what we want is to ttyS0.

later with patch4,
console=tty0 console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
will handover to ttyS0 instead of tty0.

Maybe can put above lines into commit log.
