The reason why I'm asking for this is simple: Give people serial output
and they feel success even if lots of stuff is still to be done. That's
an important motivator and one of the areas where v3 can shine due to
its structure.

cn700 & v3: if you comment out vt8237_enable()'s content in vt8237.c, it might boot a payload, I'm tracking down the problem there right now. I don't think we can use eg dev->pci.id.vendor in stage2.phase2? I want to clean that up by the end of the night.

other cpus: I've got a Nehemiah C3 board here I'll try at some point, but I'm focusing on c7 atm. I think the CPU is too different there, but I could be wrong. If anyone wants to give me a Nano board, I'll try it out :D
