We cannot use __init for earlyprintk code or data, since the kernel
parameter "keep_bootcon" allows leaving the boot console enabled.
Currently MIPS will crash/hang/die if you use keep_bootcon. The patch
fixes it at least on Lemote FuLoong mini-PC. Changes for other boards
were done based on what I could find with grep...

This patch fixes the following sparse warning:
<<<<<<<<
arch/mips/kernel/early_printk.c:35:13: warning: symbol 'setup_early_printk'
was not declared. Should it be static?
<<<<<<<<
The fix is to define a prototype of the setup_early_printk() function and
to include the appropriate header into arch/mips/kernel/early_printk.c.

The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).
This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.
The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.
I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).
Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by
Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.
