Some enhancements and bug fix.
- Define option FORCECONSPEED to force the serial console to be CONSPEED. I've run into a lot of boards in which the detect for prior speed doesn't work and ends up with broken console since it is at the wrong speed. - If a serial port is marked as a console, but console=vidconsole and if the serial ports doesn't exist it will be probed and attached at a 8250 chip. Then writes to that will freeze the system. - Add an option flags 0x400000 to mark this as a potential comconsole in-case the one flaged with 0x10 does not exist in the system. This makes it easier to deploy on systems with one or two serial ports. Obtained from: IronPort
