Say Y here to include definitions of printascii, printch, printhex
in the kernel. This is helpful if you are debugging code that
executes before the console is initialized.
+ Note that selecting this option will limit the kernel to a single
+ UART definition, as specified below. Attempting to boot the kernel
+ image on a different platform *will not work*, so this option should
+ not be enabled for kernels that are intended to be portable.
