Virtio consoles can be hotplugged, so hvc_alloc gets called from
multiple sites: from the initial probe() routine as well as later on
from workqueue handlers which aren't __devinit code.
So, drop the __devinit annotation for hvc_alloc.

This is nicer for modern R/O protection. And noone needs it non-const, so
constify the callers as well.

Rename the locking free hvc_resize() function to __hvc_resize() and
provide an inline function that locks the hvc_struct and calls
__hvc_resize().
The rationale for this patch is that virtio_console calls the hvc_resize()
function without locking the hvc_struct. So it needs to call the lock
itself.
According to naming rules, the unlocked version is renamed and
prefixed with "__".
References to unlocked function calls in hvc back-ends has been updated.

Removed __devexit annotation of hvc_remove() to avoid a section mismatch
if the backend initialization fails and hvc_remove() must be used to
clean up allocated hvc structs (called in section __init or __devinit).

The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal
window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console.
The function stores the new window size and schedules a function
that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to
user space (SIGWINCH).
Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep,
the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll()
or khvcd.
This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer.
A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().

I have added a hangup notifier that can be used by hvc console
backends to handle a tty hangup. The default irq hangup notifier
calls the notifier_del_irq() for compatibility.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.

This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.
In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)
The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).
I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.
Changes since last version:
o remove ifdef
o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
o cleanups, sparse..
I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
size constraints.
I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
the irq_requested element.
Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

This is a little messier than I'd like because xmon.h only exists
on powerpc and we can't have a static inline and an extern declaration
visible at the same time.

So the iSeries console will be faster since it can send up to 200 bytes at
a time to the Hypervisor. This only affects the tty part of the console,
the console writes are still in 16 byte lots.

These are some updates from both Ryan and Arnd for the hvc_console
driver:
The main point is to enable the inclusion of a console driver
for rtas, which is currrently needed for the cell platform.
Also shuffle around some data-type declarations and moves some
functions out of include/asm-ppc64/hvconsole.h and into a new
drivers/char/hvc_console.h file.
