Subject: virtio_console: use virtqueue notification for hvc_console
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~504^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=91fcad19d03ed67cb50fd0e1913a8b89cc3ed3ec;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-stable.git

virtio_console: use virtqueue notification for hvc_console

This patch exploits the new notifier callbacks of the hvc_console. We can
use the virtio callbacks instead of the polling code.
