That warrants updating the design doc as well as another question: Is printk available before early serial port setup? AFAICS it is not. We have to differentiate between 4 stages (not in our stage sense) for printk: 1. No CAR, no RAM, no early serial - > printk is not feasible 2. CAR, but no RAM, no early serial -> printk to an internal buffer could work, but the user can't see that 3. CAR, early serial, but no RAM -> printk to serial works 4. (much later) RAM, serial, VGA -> printk to serial and VGA works When do we want to declare printk as usable?
