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. :*/
