Diagnostic output is using polled IO. The virtual vectors are not
changed when the serial driver proper is initialized, only the
interrupt vectors. So the application can still use the virtual
vectors for diag output. Of course, if you have enabled the serial
driver, there's probably trouble ahead if you try to use the same
serial line for diag output.
