Tobias Klauser 44a4ed4257 nios2: enable earlycon support
Enable generic earlycon support for nios2. This e.g. allows to use a
8250/16650 UART as earlycon.

In order to get the earlycon, we just need to call parse_early_param()
in early_init_devtree() as soon as the device tree is initially scanned.
By adding an stdout-path property to the dts (done in this patch for
10m50_devboard), the earlycon can be used.

In order to provide early printk support, we need to provide a dummy
implementation of early_console_write(), so that
arch/nios2/kernel/early_printk.c can still be compiled if neither
SERIAL_ALTERA_JTAGUART_CONSOLE nor SERIAL_ALTERA_UART_CONSOLE is
selected. As soon as the altera_uart and altera_jtaguart support
earlycon, the entire file can be removed.

Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

Enable early printk on console
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
early before the console code is initialized.
You should normally say N here, unless you want to debug such a crash.
