/*D:300
* The Guest console driver
*
* Writing console drivers is one of the few remaining Dark Arts in Linux.
* Fortunately for us, the path of virtual consoles has been well-trodden by
* the PowerPC folks, who wrote "hvc_console.c" to generically support any
* virtual console. We use that infrastructure which only requires us to write
* the basic put_chars and get_chars functions and call the right register
* functions.
:*/
/*M:002 The console can be flooded: while the Guest is processing input the
* Host can send more. Buffering in the Host could alleviate this, but it is a
* difficult problem in general. :*/
