Loosely based on early_pci_serial_init() from Linux, allow GRUB to make
use of PCI serial devices.
Specifically, my Alderlake NUC exposes the Intel AMT SoL UART as a PCI
enumerated device but doesn't include it in the EFI tables.
Tested and confirmed working on a "Lenovo P360 Tiny" with Intel AMT
enabled. This specific machine has (from lspci -vv):
00:16.3 Serial controller: Intel Corporation Device 7aeb (rev 11) (prog-if 02 [16550])
DeviceName: Onboard - Other
Subsystem: Lenovo Device 330e
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Interrupt: pin D routed to IRQ 19
Region 0: I/O ports at 40a0 [size=8]
Region 1: Memory at b4224000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: [40] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Address: 0000000000000000 Data: 0000
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3
Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-)
Status: D0 NoSoftRst+ PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-
Kernel driver in use: serial
From which the following config (/etc/default/grub) gets a working
serial setup:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 earlyprintk=pciserial,00:16.3,115200 console=ttyS0,115200"
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --port=0x40a0 --speed=115200"
GRUB_TERMINAL="serial console"
Documentation is added to note that serial devices found on the PCI bus will
be exposed as "pci,XX:XX.X" and how to find serial terminal logical names.
Also, some minor documentation improvements were added.
This can be tested in QEMU by adding a pci-serial device, e.g. using the option
"-device pci-serial".

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. See the file MAINTAINERS for information about the GRUB maintainers, etc. If you found a security vulnerability in the GRUB please check the SECURITY file to get more information how to properly report this kind of bugs to the maintainers. Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information. The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>. More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual, accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please see: info grub Introduction 'Changes from GRUB Legacy'
