The function pointers in the console structure are also a problem.
static struct console simnow_console = {

};
Yes just patch them at runtime.
I guess that can work. It's a bit of a pain though.
Ideally the code would be setup so you can compile out consoles
the user finds uninteresting.
Seems overkill for early_printk
At least compiling completely out probably isn't.
I have had too many times where the size of a bzImage was an important
factor on a project.
It is annoying to have to call strlen on all of the strings
you want to print..
What strlen?
The strlen that is needed to convert putstr(char *s) into the
write method for the early_printk helpers.
