Is this 8xx or something else?  For 8xx, currently console output ALWAYS
goes to KGDB, if KGDB is enabled.  When the next 2.4.21-pre release
comes out, this behavior will change.  I suspect 8260 behaves in a
similar manner, but I don't have the HW to test it, so I did not make a
similar change there.
