[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 10/13] Implement early printk in virtio-console

[Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>]

On our S390x Virtio machine we don't have anywhere to display early printks
on, because we don't know about VGA or serial ports.

So instead we just forward everything to the virtio console that we created
anyways.
