I think normally wrong/empty console boot argument should not cause
problems. We have a huge number of devices that use console="", for
instance. But on some hardware this triggers panic(), very early on.

I have the same symptoms on my laptop, and so far haven't been able
to figure out how to track it down, but I need to re-start my investigation.

In the meantime, we had a series [0] but ended up reverting it.
I think we need to revisit it, namely the part that starts with [1].
