Great catch!
Note: This behavior might be dangerous. printk_late_init() checks if
the early console code is in the init section. It unregisters
such consoles even when keep_bootcon parameter is used.
Well, it is "not serious" and might be improved later.
If the early console has this code in the early section
then it is a bug and should be fixed. printk_late_init() does
the best effort because this problem would block all consoles
and would be hard to debug. It is the same with kgdb but
it is still only a corner case and just the best effort.
