Update the hvc driver to use the OPAL irqchip if made available by the
running firmware. If it is not present, the driver falls back to the
existing OPAL event number.

<title>tty/hvc: Use IRQF_SHARED for OPAL hvc consoles</title>

Commit 2def86a7200c ("hvc: Convert to using interrupts instead of opal
events") enabled the use of interrupts in the hvc_driver for OPAL
platforms. However on machines with more than one hvc console, any
console after the first will fail to register an interrupt handler in
notifier_add_irq() since all consoles share the same IRQ number but do
not set the IRQF_SHARED flag:

  genirq: Flags mismatch irq 31. 00000000 (hvc_console) vs. 00000000 (hvc_console)
  hvc_open: request_irq failed with rc -16.

This error propagates up to hvc_open() and the console is closed, but
OPAL will still generate interrupts that are not handled, leading to
rcu_sched stall warnings.

Set IRQF_SHARED when calling request_irq(), allowing additional consoles
to start properly. This is only set for consoles handled by
hvc_opal_probe(), leaving other types unaffected.

If -&gt;get_char() returns a negative error code and that can mean that
"ch" is uninitialized.  The callers of this function expect NO_POLL_CHAR
on error so let's return that.

Refactor the existing code in xen_raw_console_write to get the generic
early_printk console work with HVM guests.

Take the opportunity to replace the outb loop with a single outsb call
to reduce the number of vmexit.

The xenboot early console has been partially broken for DomU for a long
time: the output would only go to the hypervisor via hypercall
(HYPERVISOR_console_io), while it wouldn't actually go to the DomU
console. The reason is that domU_write_console would return early as no
xencons structs are configured for it.

Add an appropriate xencons struct for xenboot from the xenboot setup
callback.

Introduce EARLYCON support in hvc_xen, useful for early debugging on arm
and arm64, where xen early_printk is not available.

It is different from xenboot_write_console on x86 in two ways:

- it does not return if !xen_pv_domain(), not only because ARM guests
  are xen_hvm_domain(), but also because we want to capture all the
  early boot messages, before xen support is discovered
- it does not try to print to the domU console at all, because xen
  support will only be discovered at a later point

xencons_disconnect_backend() is only called from xen_console_remove(),
which is conditionally compiled, so we get a harmless warning when
CONFIG_HVC_XEN_FRONTEND is unset:

hvc/hvc_xen.c:350:12: error: 'xen_console_remove' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]

This moves the function down into the same #ifdef section to silence
the warning.
