I think the logic would probably clearer if we invert this to become
xmon_on.

You've just changed the timing of when xmon gets enabled for the above
two cases, from here which is called very early, to xmon_setup() which
is called much later in boot.

That effectively disables xmon for most of the boot, which we do not
want to do.
