To be clear: This affects machines using the ttyHV serial console driver
that is used for LDOMs. This does not affect machines using other serial

This is in line with all the other architectures. The GRUB configuration
comes from there. Best would be to read the installation manual for ppc64el
to see if there are any options documented which allow verbose booting.
