Blackfin arch: Initial patch to add earlyprintk support
This allows debugging of problems which happen eary in the kernel boot process (after bootargs are parsed, but before serial subsystem is fully initialized) Signed-off-by: Robin Getz <robin.getz@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>

+ This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
+ to print messages very early in the bootup process.
+
+ This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
+ early before the console code is initialized. After enabling this
+ feature, you must add "earlyprintk=serial,uart0,57600" to the
+ command line (bootargs). It is safe to say Y here in all cases, as
+ all of this lives in the init section and is thrown away after the
+ kernel boots completely.
