Why?

QEMU knows it's running as a user process.  Do you see anywhere in the
documentation that it guarantees emulation of real hardware? (Hint - it's
connecting your earlyprintk console to stdout, and as long as it's doing that,
there's no reason for it to *not* go the extra step and provide emulation
of the UART so you can debug early kernel problems....)
