From: Yinghai Lu on

Analyze "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,115200n8" in i386_start_kernel/x86_64_start_kernel,
and call setup_early_serial8250_console() to init early serial console.

only can handle io port kind of 8250. because mmio need ioremap.

-v2: use boot_params.hdr.version instead of adding another variable, Suggested by hpa
update after using x86 memblock patchset
-v3: x86 memblock can not make into with 2.6.36 now
so update this patch to be applied before x86 memblock patchset again.
