Why do we have to have a new "earlycon" argument?  Why can't we just
parse "console=uart" early?

with console=uart, you need to call early_serial_console_init
explictly in your arch setup_arch to get early console.

with console_initcall(early_uart_console_init), the early_uart_console
will be called via console_init in start_kernel, init/main.c that is
not real early console.
