Why can't the earlycon MMIO address just have that high bit set?

I think it's horribly fragile to try detecting all of this stuff before
we're allowed to touch the console. We don't even bother with pKVM --
it's the guest firmware's responsibility to MMIO_GUARD the UART if it
detects a debuggable payload.
