The last console will be added by the console= parsing, and so that will
be used. The console we add in the pseries setup is only used if nothing
is specified on the command line.

Okay, then there is a completely different problem. In the case of
"console=hvc0 console=hvc1" it uses the _first_ add stdin/out bla and
ignores the second one completely.

Okay, so hvc_console is the culprit. It don't register a preferred
console if it knows it is not the first in the list.
