[Xen-devel] [PATCH] console: avoid printing no or null time stamps

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

During early boot timestamps aren't very useful, as they're all zero
(in "boot" mode) or absent altogether (in "date" and "datems" modes).
Log "boot" format timestamps when the date formats aren't available yet,
and log raw timestamps when boot ones are still all zero. Also add a
"raw" mode.

ARM side build-tested only; I'm in particular unsure whether
READ_SYSREG64(CNTPCT_EL0) can indeed be used right at start of day.

 For compatibility with the older boolean parameter, specifying
 `console_timestamps` alone will enable the `date` option.
