Julien Olivain 8e9c8e624f boot/edk2: introduce a new _OVMF_DEBUG_ON_SERIAL option
When EDK2 OVMF is built with debug, messages are printed to
IO port 0x402. Those messages are not shown in the normal
Qemu emulated serial port. Enabling this option will print
debug messages on the emulated serial port, potentially
mixing messages with UEFI serial console output.

See OVMF README:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/OvmfPkg/README

This option has been useful to debug problems such as [1], in which the
emulator was hanging at startup without any log. Enabling this option
show the debug message on the console, before hanging:

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
