[PATCH] Remove need for early lockdep init
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I think it was only needed for the printks and we can do them later.

I put in a single early_printk so that we know the kernel is alive
(early_printk doesn't need any locks)

This makes some things easier for initialization of unwind for
lockdep, which is needed by later patches.
