[PATCH] powerpc: hvc_console updates
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. Signed-off-by: "Ryan S. Arnold" <rsa@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <abergman@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
