[PATCH] ignore ,keep for efi earlyprintk

[Dave Young]

earlyprint=efi,keep results a kernel hang after "Freeing unused kernel memory"

Actually efi earlyprintk is using __init functions such as early_ioremap etc.
Thus efi earlyconsole can not be kept.

So just ignore it and give out a warning to user.
