rework VGA and serial output

The Linux kernel can output messages to serial devices and
vga devices in parallel. The latest console= entry decides which
console output is used for init via /dev/console character device.

Let the developer configure what he wants. If you use f.e. Kodi,
be sure output/input is used for VGA, other wise kodi startsup,
but you end up with a black screen.
