Apparently "earlyprintk=efi,keep" is likely to work better.  Jim Barber
was able to get a traceback this way.

It looks like the efi-bgrt driver is crashing, and there is an upstream
fix for it.  I'll upload a test version of the package shortly.

However, if you see a traceback where the IP is *not* shown as being in
"efi_bgrt_init", please report that.
