    loader: For EFI, if we don't have ConOut, try ConIn
    
    Try ConIn if we don't have a ConOut variable. ConIn will contain HID
    devices and/or serial devices. We currently just search for serial
    devices and will use them instead of video with the current code. While
    ConIn w/o ConOut is fairly common on laptops, is kinda rare on servers.
    Some refinement may be needed in the future if servers come to
    light. This is also minimal to allow possible integration into 13.3
    release.
