Why is PCI initialized after the console?

Anyone who knows what was the good reason for initializing the console _before_
the PCI code initialization is called? This causes problems for systems where
the console is on a PCI device (e.g. a TGA console, for which a workaround is
used).

If there's no good reason for this, I'd like to invert the order.

Greetings,

Geert
