To summarize how are we going to handle low-level debugging after this series:
1. You are lucky enough that the problem happens after console system initialized
   and you have stack working: go earlycon, or on very few old platforms with platform
   early_printk
2. You are debugging zboot: debug_ll
3. You are debugging SMP bootstrap code like cps-vec: debug_ll
4. Your kernel crashed at the middle of no where before trap_init: debug_ll
