Shenghao Yang 2a11e1479e x86/acpi: Add acpi=spcr to use SPCR-provided default console 
The SPCR provided console on x86 is only available as a boot console when
earlycon is provided on the kernel command line, and will not be present in
/proc/consoles.

While it's possible to retain the boot console with the keep_bootcon
parameter, that leaves the console using the less efficient 8250_early driver.

Users wanting to use the firmware suggested console (to avoid maintaining
unique serial console parameters for different server models in large fleets)
with the conventional driver have to parse the kernel log for the console
parameters and reinsert them.

  [    0.005091] ACPI: SPCR 0x000000007FFB5000 000059 (v04 ALASKA A M I    01072009 INTL 20250404)
  [    0.073387] ACPI: SPCR: console: uart,io,0x3f8,115200

In commit

  0231d00082 ("ACPI: SPCR: Make SPCR available to x86")¹

the SPCR console was only added as an option for earlycon but not as an
ordinary console so users don't see console output changes.

So users can opt in to an automatic SPCR console, make ACPI init add it if
acpi=spcr is set.
