On our S390x Virtio machine we don't have anywhere to display early printks

What is this used for?
This is used for console output before virtio is initialized. I didn't invent
it - that's the way it's implemented in the s390 kernels today.
I don't see any code that calls this function. Am I missing something
obvious?
