Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console")
introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel
arguments.
If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel
argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument
and not as "serial" and then "ttyS".
Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS
directly without the "serial" argument.

If you use the kernel argument:
earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200
This will cause a recursive hang printing the same line
again and again:

Instead warn the end user that they specified the device
a second time, and ignore that second 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().

Move the dbgp early printk driver in advance of refactoring and adding
new code, so the changes to this code are tracked separately from the
move of the code.
The drivers/usb/early directory will be the location of the current
and future early usb code for driving usb devices prior initializing
the standard interrupt driven USB drivers.

This is a cycling dependency between asm/pgtable.h and linux/mmzone.h
when using CONFIG_SPARSEMEM. Rather than hacking up the headers some
more, remove asm/pgtable.h, since early_printk.c doesn't actually need
it.

Impact: remove obsolete code
The later versions of SimNow! actually all have serial console
emulation, so the direct interface isn't needed anymore. So remove
the undocumented simnow earlyprintk console.

It's not explicitly marked as asmlinkage, but invoked from x86_32
startup code with parameters on stack.
No other architectures define early_printk and none of them are affected
by this change, since defines asmlinkage as empty token.
