For some perverse reason, if you call add_preferred_console() it prevents
setup_early_printk() from successfully enabling the boot console -
unless you make it a preferred console too...

Also, make xenboot console output distinct from normal console output,
since it gets repeated when the console handover happens, and the
duplicated output is confusing without disambiguation.

[ Applies to end of xen pvfb series ]
