So you can use the early PCI hooks or even bash the register directly in
your early bootup code. You won't be the only early boot console that
does this sort of thing. There are even people bitbanging PCI I²C
interfaces at boot time for such purpose.

It's certainly easier to maintain, but it would be good to know if the
setting can be written or retrieved directly in the early console setup
using the early PCI ops or similar.
