   2  * The Guest console driver
   3  *
   4  * Writing console drivers is one of the few remaining Dark Arts in Linux.
   5  * Fortunately for us, the path of virtual consoles has been well-trodden by
   6  * the PowerPC folks, who wrote "hvc_console.c" to generically support any
   7  * virtual console.  We use that infrastructure which only requires us to write
   8  * the basic put_chars and get_chars functions and call the right register
   9  * functions.
  10  :*/

  12 /*M:002 The console can be flooded: while the Guest is processing input the
  13  * Host can send more.  Buffering in the Host could alleviate this, but it is a
  14  * difficult problem in general. :*/
