early_printk: Allow more than one early console
It is desirable to be able to use one early boot device to debug another or to have multiple places you can see the early boot diagnostics, such as the vga screen or serial device. This patch changes the early_printk console device registration to allow more than one early printk device to get registered via register_console().
