Bug#689962: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64: Compile with CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=y

Dear Maintainer,
When using a virtio console, we cannot get early boot messages since
it is only available as a module. Wouldn't it make sense to compile it
in-kernel to get the same behaviour as with a serial console?

In fact, as of 3.6, it is not possible to use virtconsole as an initial
console. I don't know if this will be fixed later but this makes the bug
for this specific kernel moot.
Feel free to close if you think there is nothing to do here.
