[updated patch 1/2] powerpc: hvc_console updates

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Mar 27 2006 - 14:24:05 EST

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.
