I think that your first suggestion is the right one.


Otherwise we could also make drivers/xen/dbgp.c compile if
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP rather than CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT.
I think that it would create fewer maintenance pains if dbgp_reset_prep
and dbgp_external_startup had the same compile requirements as their xen
counterparts (aside from Xen support of course).
