hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq. In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest) The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that use irqs (System p, System i, XEN). I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops. Changes since last version: o remove ifdef o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified" o cleanups, sparse.. I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer size constraints. I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access the irq_requested element. Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
