If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk commit 2482a92e7d17187301d7313cfe5021b13393a0b4 upstream. The earlyprintk for Xen PV guests utilizes a simple hypercall (console_io) to provide output to Xen emergency console. Note that the Xen hypervisor should be booted with 'loglevel=all' to output said information. Reported-by: H.
