Does the early console output something once it's initialized? If not then I'd go one step further here: if early_printk serial debugging was configured, let's output some sort of message as early as it's expected to work. That way if any of this debug codepath regresses for relocate_kernel, the discovery of that regression won't be delayed until something nasty triggers within relocate_kernel that would necessitate a working debug mechanism ... Also, printing something to the early console using these new relocate_kernel printing functions would be an additional bonus as well, for similar reasons. Thanks, Ingo
