earlyprintk is useful when the kernel crashes before
the normal console is initialized. It is not enabled by
default because it has some cosmetic problems.
- Only 32-bit memory addresses are supported for "mmio"
- and "pciserial" devices.
-
Use "nocfg" to skip UART configuration, assume
BIOS/firmware has configured UART correctly.

This is just one of many ways that can clear memory. Make sure your system
keeps the content of memory across reboots before relying on this option.
