I injected some BUGs in various places on 32-bit an 64-bit and it
seemed to do the right thing.  Depending on how early they were, I
either got a clean hang or I got a printout, and whether it displayed
anything didn't seem to change with and without the patches.  I think
that early_printk doesn't work from the very very beginning.

I also tried a bad wrmsrl at a couple early points.  Very very early
it just works with not warning.  A little later and it prints the
warning.
