No no no!!! Please do not eliminate earlyprintk(). It is critical to
the PREEMPT_RT project. It requires no sleeping locks, and can be used
in pretty much any context (with slight modifications). printk() is a
beast, and in -rt it calls sleeping locks. That is, if interrupts are
disabled, we prevent printk from print anything. (Note PREEMPT_RT
keeps interrupts enabled much more than the normal kernel does). If a
bug happens where interrupts are disabled, we fall back to earlyprintk
(and tracing), to debug it.
