Bootloader UART setup #18

Could the bootloader set up the PL011 UART before it hands over to the kernel? Currently I have code in bootc/linux@a91fe13 that sets up the serial port during the kernel decompression stage so that it can be used during decompression and then during early printk.

It would really be ideal if that was done outside the kernel as is more customary, and would mean you could boot compressed or uncompressed kernels and get the same behaviour.
