[Arm-netbook] USB console idea

[Tom Cubie]

Yeah, good idea. I remember the openmoko phone u-boot uses the usb
as console.
I don't have much USB knowledge, the u-boot lichee-dev souce contains
the code that let the A10 USB work under the android fastboot protocol.
I think if someone is familiar with the usb protocol it's easy to get the
usb
console working.
