#1580228 — [PATCH v7 3/5] x86: add support for earlyprintk via USB3 debug port

Add support for early printk by writing debug messages to the
USB3 debug port.   Users can use this type of early printk by
specifying kernel parameter of "earlyprintk=xdbc". This gives
users a chance of providing debug output.

The hardware for USB3 debug port requires DMA memory blocks.
This requires to delay setting up debugging hardware and
registering boot console until the memblocks are filled.
