[PATCH 4/9] xen/x86: allow "earlyprintk=xen" to work for PV Dom0

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Tue Sep 07 2021 - 06:09:44 EST


With preferred consoles "tty" and "hvc" announced as preferred,
registering "xenboot" early won't result in use of the console: It also
needs to be registered as preferred. Generalize this from being DomU-
only so far.
