[PATCH v2] x86, boot: add hex output for debugging

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Oct 31 2014 - 16:58:46 EST


This is useful for reporting various addresses or other values while
debugging early boot. For example, when CONFIG_X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP is set,
this is now visible at boot time:

early console in setup code
early console in decompress_kernel
input_data: 0x0000000001e1526e
input_len: 0x0000000000732236
output: 0x0000000001000000
output_len: 0x0000000001535640
run_size: 0x00000000021fb000
KASLR using RDTSC...

Since this displays run_size, this patch depends on Junjie Mao's patch
"x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd"
