That's overkill. Most architectures have an
early_printkequivalent in firmware. Only i386 and x86-64 are not lucky enough to have one that is usable from the CPU mode linux uses.That's a pretty big assumption. I wouldn't hold that to be necessarily true.
But then assuming they have PC style VGA/serial is a pretty big assumption too.
It is probably better hidden in arch/

That's a configure option more than anything else, IMO.

It's not arch though; rather it's a platform option.
