      [SPARC64]: Add hypervisor API negotiation and fix console bugs. · c7754d46
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Hypervisor interfaces need to be negotiated in order to use
      some API calls reliably.  So add a small set of interfaces
      to request API versions and query current settings.
      
      This allows us to fix some bugs in the hypervisor console:
      
      1) If we can negotiate API group CORE of at least major 1
         minor 1 we can use con_read and con_write which can improve
         console performance quite a bit.
      
      2) When we do a console write request, we should hold the
         spinlock around the whole request, not a byte at a time.
         What would happen is that it's easy for output from
         different cpus to get mixed with each other.
      
      3) Use consistent udelay() based polling, udelay(1) each
         loop with a limit of 1000 polls to handle stuck hypervisor
         console.
