[PATCH] Remove simnow earlyprintk support

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Oct 21 2008 - 08:05:14 EST


Remove simnow earlyprintk support

The later versions of SimNow! actually all have serial console
emulation, so the direct interface isn't needed anymore.
So remove the undocumented simnow earlyprintk console.
