Hi Folks, We're implementing support for SPCR table parsing shortly[0], since it will allow to deprecate supplying a "console=" (and eventually, also "earlycon=") on 64-bit ARM servers, where it's not always the case that we can assume a 16550 at a specific address. SPCR has been provided on x86 systems since 2000 but is not (yet) supported by Linux. If anyone knows of existing efforts on e.g. x86 or IA64, please get in touch. I expect the initial implementation to require revision 2+ modern server systems and possibly be limited to ARM initially. Thanks, Jon.
