hvc_lguest.c

/*D:300
 * The Guest console driver
 *
 * This is a trivial console driver: we use lguest's DMA mechanism to send
 * bytes out, and register a DMA buffer to receive bytes in.  It is assumed to
 * be present and available from the very beginning of boot.
 *
 * 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. :*/
