I've pushed my patch out, so anyone else in a similar situation can
immediately turn their little udbg methods for whatever strange I/O
they have into a fully-functional console.  Maybe it's not something
you'd want to go to release with, but it certainly simplifies life
during bringup.
Ok, I understand now.  However, I would like to see two changes:

1) Re-arrange the Makefile as I pointed out in another post.

2) Update the Kconfig help file to be very clear that this feature is only
meaningful if the platform has a udbg back-end but no other console or TTY driver.
