From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@xxxxxxx>
Accessing guest video memory/RAM during kernel decompressor
causes guest termination as boot stage2 #VC handler for
SEV-ES/SNP systems does not support MMIO handling.
This issue is observed with SEV-ES/SNP guest kexec as
kexec -c adds screen_info to the boot parameters
passed to the kexec kernel, which causes console output to
be dumped to both video and serial.
As the decompressor output gets cleared really fast, it is
preferable to get the console output only on serial, hence,
skip accessing video RAM during decompressor stage to
prevent guest termination.
Serial console output during decompressor stage works as
boot stage2 #VC handler already supports handling port I/O.
