Yes, it looks like some ifdeffing is needed in
arch/sparc/kernel/setup_32.c and in arch/sparc/kernel/setup_64.c.  And
I suspect arch/powerpc/kernel/udbg.c will break with
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=n.

I had a shot at fixing it all but I'm not very confident in the result,
so I guess I'll drop it as well.
