At console init, when the kernel tries to flush the log buffer
the ePAPR byte-channel based console write fails silently,
losing the buffered messages.
This happens because The ePAPR para-virtualization init isn't
done early enough so that the hcall instruction to be set,
causing the byte-channel write hcall to be a nop.
To fix, change the ePAPR para-virt init to use early device
tree functions and move it in early init.

QEMU doesn't set "epapr,hypervisor-1" but it still uses the same hcall  
mechanism.  The compatible that QEMU sets is "linux,kvm".  Perhaps QEMU  
should change, but we'd still like to be compatible with older QEMUs.

How is this change related to moving initialization earlier?

Why are you doing this before processing hcall-instructions?

Just a (extra-)check to see that i'm on the right node.
But considering your mention on qemu/kvm using a different compatible 
i'm thinking of dropping it and only try reading the 
"hcall-instructions" property.

Nothing of importance. The code seemed more clear to me.

It seems wrong to expose epapr_ev_idle to ppc_md before the hcall has  
been patched in, even if you don't expect to actually go idle at this  
point.

Ah, now I understand your concerns. I've submitted a [v3] restoring the 
original ordering.
