Uhm, that's bad... This would explain why my earlycon code generates a
fault as soon as something prints after paging_init(). I'd say this
feature would be much more useful if mappings were carried over
paging_init(), so that mapped devices are available later as well.

I'll see if I can code this on top of your patch, but unfortunately it
might end up with -ENOTIME.

Best regards,
Tomasz
