- * The Guest console driver

- * 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.

- * Host can send more. Buffering in the Host could alleviate this, but it is a
- * difficult problem in general. :*/
