ARM: 8705/1: early_printk: use printascii() rather than printch()

With printch() the console messages are sent out one character at a time
which is agonizingly slow especially with semihosting as the whole trap
intercept, remote byte access, and system resume danse is performed for
every single character across a relatively slow remote debug connection.

Let's use printascii() to send a whole string at once. This is also going
to be more efficient, albeit to a quite lesser extent, with serial ports
as well.

early_printk: consolidate random copies of identical code

The early console implementations are the same all over the place. Move
the print function to kernel/printk and get rid of the copies.

# 93fd03a8 09-Dec-2009 Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

ARM: Add an earlyprintk debug console

This patch allows an earlyprintk console if CONFIG_DEBUG_LL is enabled,
using the printch asm function.

The patch is based on the original work by Sascha Hauer.
