Add helper functions for time computation

[PATCH -v2] x86: only set early_serial_base after port is initialized in setup code
putchar is using early_serial_base to check if port is initialized. So we only assign it after early_serial_init() is called. in case we need use VGA to debug early serial console. Also add display for port addr and baud. -v2: update to current tip Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg(a)cs.helsinki.fi> Signe... 14 Jul 2010 15:25
