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.

include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that
are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does
not have this yet.
This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
including any of the headers in user space libraries.

... and also delete some that are no longer used because we already
had an include/asm-powerpc version of the header.

When registering the hvc console port, register a list of ops (read and write)
to go with it, instead of calling fixed function names.
This allows different ports to encode the data differently.

Remove all the vio device driver code from hvc_console.c
This will allow us to separate hvsi, hvc, and allow hvc_console to be used
without the ppc64 vio layer.

Separate the console setup routines of the hvc_console and the vio layer.
Remove the call to find_init_vty from hvc_console.c.
Fail the setup routine if the console doesn't exist, but register the console
again when the specified channel is instantiated. This scheme maintains the
print buffer semantics while eliminating callout and call back for the console
code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
