How about console=uart8250,...?

I don't want to add asm-ia64/fixmap.h with dummy definitions
just for this.

Can we add this:

  asm-ia64/io.h:   #define bt_ioremap ioremap
  asm-x86_64/io.h: #define bt_ioremap early_ioremap

and use bt_ioremap instead?

I will try it.

If you can make "console=early8250" work, we don't need
"earlycon=early8250", do we?

actually I modify init/main.c
diff --git a/init/main.c b/init/main.c
index 1940fa7..07dad53 100644
--- a/init/main.c
+++ b/init/main.c
@@ -452,7 +452,9 @@ static int __init do_early_param(char *param, char *val)
	struct obs_kernel_param *p;

	for (p = __setup_start; p < __setup_end; p++) {
-		if (p->early && strcmp(param, p->str) == 0) {
+		if ((p->early && strcmp(param, p->str) == 0) ||
+		  (strcmp(param,"console")==0 && strcmp(p->str, "earlycon")==0)
+		) {
			if (p->setup_func(val) != 0)
				printk(KERN_WARNING
				       "Malformed early option '%s'\n", param);

so make earlycon early_param setup will check console command line.



Your patch adds trailing whitespace and a few cases of"<space><tab>".
I use this in my .vimrc to catch these:

  highlight WhitespaceEOL ctermbg=red guibg=red
  match WhitespaceEOL /\s\+$\| \+\ze\t/

I will check it.
