printk() from time zero (to a buffer) will be enabled by one of my
future patches. But right now the code should be consistent.

-	printk(BIOS_DEBUG, "Done %s\n", __FUNCTION__);

Besides that, the only printk I removed will be directly followed by the
LinuxBIOS banner about two instructions later and the printk itself is
not as informative as I'd like. I will re-add a printk in that function
with the late rprintk buffering patch.
