[PATCH] [Bugfix] x86/boot/compressed: Fix serial I/O during compressed boot

From: Alexander Kuleshov
Date: Sun Feb 08 2015 - 07:33:54 EST


Previously it used early_serial_base from the
arch/x86/boot/compressed/early_serial_console.c, and it's zero everytime,
so serial I/O didn't work/print anything in the kernel decompressing code.

Let's define early_serial_base in the arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.c
and make it extern, so code from boot/compressed directory can use it.
