That commandline doesn't produce any output for me.  Is that the right
address?  src/soc/intel/skylake/include/soc/iomap.h has:

#define UART_DEBUG_BASE_ADDRESS 0xfe034000

Unfortunately using that address doesn't produce any output, either.

For Xen I've hacked together a slow serial output using port 0x80
and recreating it from the ec console.  This was very helpful to track
down that it was hanging when trying to initialize the vga console,
which doesn't exist since there is no VGA bios.

Xen starts now, but the dom0 kernel doesn't show any signs of life
with earlyprintk=xen or trying to send it to the mmio uart.
It might be due to the 4.4 kernel not having all the skylake support.
Still, it's progress since yesterday...
