I think that it might be wise to start off with an alternative to
sbi_putchar() since it is already planned for deprecation. I realize
that this will require rework, but it is almost guaranteed that
early_printk() will break on future SBI implementations if using this
SBI call. IIRC, Xen/ARM's early printk looked like a reasonable analogy
for how it could work on RISC-V, IMHO.
