+/*D:300
+ * The Guest console driver
+ *
+ * Writing console drivers is one of the few remaining Dark Arts in Linux.
+ * 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.
+ :*/

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