Reading from the DCC grabs a character from the buffer and
clears the status bit. Since this is a context-changing
operation, instructions following the character read that rely on
the status bit being accurate need to be synchronized with an
ISB.

In this case, the status bit check needs to execute after the
character read otherwise we run the risk of reading the character
and checking the status bit before the read can clear the status
bit in the first place. When this happens, the user will see the
same character they typed twice, instead of once.

Add an ISB after the read and the write, so that the status check
is synchronized with the read/write operations.

This reverts commit 361162459f62dc0826b82c9690a741a940f457f0.

It causes an infinite loop when booting Linux under Xen, as so:

  [    2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
  [    2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
  [    2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
  ...

as reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.  And Rusty reports the same for
lguest.  He goes on to say:

   "This is not a concurrency problem: the issue seems to be that
    calling register_console() twice on the same struct console is a bad
    idea."

and Greg says he'll fix it up properly at some point later. Revert for now.

We are cleaning up the issue that means module.h is omnipresent.
These tty users are the people who implictly are relying on that.
Fix up the real users to call out the include that they really need.

In the case of jsm_driver.c file, it had moduleparam.h but that
isn't enough and it needs the full module.h

printk only works for "registered consoles."  Currently, the hvc_console
code calls register_console() from hvc_instantiate(), but that's only
used in the early console case.  In hvc_alloc(), register_console() was
not called.

Add a call to register_console() in hvc_alloc(), set up the index in
the hvc_console, and set up the necessary vtermnos[] and cons_op[]
entries so that printk functions work.

Since commit [e58aa3d2: genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled],
We run all interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled
and we even check and yell when an interrupt handler
returns with interrupts enabled (see commit [b738a50a:
genirq: Warn when handler enables interrupts]).

So now this flag is a NOOP and can be removed.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Support for OPAL console</title>

This adds a udbg and an hvc console backend for supporting a console
using the OPAL console interfaces.

On OPAL v1 we have hvc0 mapped to whatever console the system was
configured for (network or hvsi serial port) via the service
processor.

On OPAL v2 we have hvcN mapped to the Nth console provided by OPAL
which generally corresponds to:

	hvc0 : network console (raw protocol)
	hvc1 : serial port S1 (hvsi)
	hvc2 : serial port S2 (hvsi)

Note: At this point, early debug console only works with OPAL v1
and shouldn't be enabled in a normal kernel.
