[PATCH][RESEND] x86, boot: add hex output for debugging

Show all headers | View raw

This is useful for reporting various addresses or other values while
debugging early boot, for example, the recent kernel image size vs
kernel run size. For example, when CONFIG_X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP is set,
this is now visible at boot time:

	early console in setup code
	early console in decompress_kernel
	input_data: 0x0000000001e1526e
	input_len: 0x0000000000732236
	output: 0x0000000001000000
	output_len: 0x0000000001535640
	run_size: 0x00000000021fb000
	KASLR using RDTSC...

There was some discussion around this patch when I sent it before, but
ultimately, concensus seemed to be that it was fine as-is (e.g. full printf
and macros are over-kill, reduction of print infrastructure is a separate
issue). Thoughts?
