A normal serial console will do for this particular task, but when you need very early debugging, there's also a "USB debug" cable. AFAICT, this is a sole-source item from Ajays Technology and only sold at <http://www.semiconductorstore.com/cart/pc/viewprd.asp?idProduct=12083> See Documentation/x86/earlyprintk.txt on using the device...
