Intel Medfield platform has a high speed UART device, which
could act as a early console. To enable early printk of HSU
console, simply add "earlyprintk=hsu" in kernel command line.
Currently we put the code in the early_printk_mrst.c as it is
also for Intel MID platforms like the mrst early console

Intel Moorestown platform has a spi-uart device(Maxim3110),
which connects to a Designware spi core controller. This patch
will add early console function based on it.
As it will be used long before Linux spi subsystem get
initialised, we simply directly manipulate the spi controller's
register to acheive the early console func. This is safe as it
will be disabled when devices subsytem get initialised.
To use it, user need enable CONFIG_X86_MRST_EARLY_PRINTK in
kenrel config and add "earlyprintk=mrst" in kernel command line.

Always-on local APIC timer (ARAT) has been introduced to Medfield, along
with the platform APB timers we have more timer configuration options
between Moorestown and Medfield.
This patch adds run-time detection of avaiable timer features so that
we can treat Medfield as a variant of Moorestown and set up the optimal
timer options for each platform. i.e.
Medfield: per cpu always-on local APIC timer
Moorestown: per cpu APB timer
Manual override is possible via cmdline option x86_mrst_timer.
