This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting.
For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0,
because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context
(see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c).
For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because
tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls
might sleep due to mutex_lock.
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /root/cvs/linux-2.6.git/kernel/mutex.c:207

hvc_console is setting low_latency unconditionally, but some clients are
interrupt driven and will call hvc_poll from irq context. This will cause
tty_flip_buffer_push to be called from irq context, and it very clearly
states it must not be called from IRQ when low_latency is specified.

This patch introduces special handling of the IUCV HVC console device.
If the first IUCV HVC terminal is used as (preferred) Linux console, and
needs some special handling for hangup.
The hvc_iucv_private structure contains a flag to indicate whether a IUCV
HVC device is used as a console.
A terminal acting as "console" behaves different if a tty hangup occurs:
If the iucv communication path is severed, a tty hangup is not
triggered (because the HVC layer does not notify its back-end in that case).
Instead, the console session is left unchanged and the IUCV HVC device is
reset to allow re-connects.
Note: Any output between the disconnect and a re-connect is discarded.

As a non-atomic value, it's only safe to look at entropy_count when the
pool lock is held, so we move the BUG_ON inside the lock for correctness.
Also remove the spurious comment. It's ok for entropy_count to
temporarily exceed POOLBITS so long as it's left in a consistent state
when the lock is released.
This is a more correct, simple, and idiomatic fix for the bug in
8b76f46a2d. I've left the reorderings introduced by that patch in place
as they're harmless, even though they don't properly deal with potential
atomicity issues.
