I want to remove the documentation and also remove the code
associated with the earlycon `parameter`.  I absolutely want
to keep the early printk capability but that should be
controlled by the `console' parameter, there's no need for
a separate `earlycon' parameter.

I am against code bloat and putting extra code in the kernel
to support unneeded parameters is just a waste.
