A regression of building without CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE was introduced with

implement atomic console enter/leave functions).

When there is no HW console the con_debug_enter and con_debug_leave

Commit 69309a05 ("x86, asm: Clean up and simplify set_64bit()")
sanitized the x86-64 types to set_64bit(), and incidentally resulted in
warnings like

 drivers/pci/intr_remapping.c: In function 'modify_irte':
 drivers/pci/intr_remapping.c:314: warning: passing argument 1 of 'set_64bit' from incompatible pointer type
 arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg_64.h:6: note:expected 'volatile u64 *' but argument is of type 'long unsigned int *'

It turns out that the change to set_64bit() really does clean up things,
and the PCI intr_remapping.c file did a rather ugly cast in order to
avoid warnings with the previous set_64bit() type model.

Removing the ugly cast fixes the warning, and makes everybody happy and
expects a set_64bit() to take the logical "u64 *" argument.

 I just did a quick git bisect. It's introduced by commit 4062f1a4
 ("kconfig: use long options in conf") by Sam Ravnborg. Apparently that
 thing is totally buggy, and doesn't just change the option names, but
 actively breaks them.

The old behaviour (from years ago) were reintroduced by accident.  Fix
this so we are back to the version that are silent if there is nothing
to ask about.

Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that
invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open
/dev/console, presumably to write an error message to.

The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet
initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke
modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a
module.

This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel
log:

	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1

This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find
the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise).
The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because
'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically.

Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().
