Testing on Tenstorrent Blackhole with Sifive X280 cores.

After adding some logging like this, I'm still able to break the boot
(like I'd reported on your previous patch). Full logs here

Is this expected? Are the logging prints causing the overflow?

If I don't have this logging prints added, I'm able to boot fine into
linux. I was able to do this with your last patch, so this patch
doesn't change much in that aspect.
