[PATCH] powerpc: Early debugging support for iSeries

Michael Ellerman michael at ellerman.id.au
Thu Nov 17 14:14:30 EST 2005


Connect iSeries up to the standard early debugging infrastructure.

To actually use this you need to define the iSeries version of
EARLY_DEBUG_INIT in setup_64.c, and hit Ctrl-x Ctrl-x on your console to dump
the Hypervisor console buffer.
