This patch adds the "--printk=" boot command line argument to specify
the printk() device. It also enhances the "--console=" boot command
line argument to match any device configured in the console device
table. The arguments are parsed as early as possible so they take
effect early. Currently, this is immediately after PCI initialization.
Script does what is expected and tries to do it as
smartly as possible.
