    efi/x86: Convert x86 EFI earlyprintk into generic earlycon implementation · 69c1f396
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    Move the x86 EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location under
    drivers/firmware and tweak it slightly so we can expose it as an earlycon
    implementation (which is generic) rather than earlyprintk (which is only
    implemented for a few architectures)
    
    This also involves switching to write-combine mappings by default (which
    is required on ARM since device mappings lack memory semantics, and so
    memcpy/memset may not be used on them), and adding support for shared
    memory framebuffers on cache coherent non-x86 systems (which do not
    tolerate mismatched attributes).
    
    Note that 32-bit ARM does not populate its struct screen_info early
    enough for earlycon=efifb to work, so it is disabled there.
