Subject: [PATCH] [14/50] powerpc/pseries/hvconsole: Fix dropped console output

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@...ba.org>

[ upstream commit 51d33021425e1f905beb4208823146f2fb6517da ]

Return -EAGAIN when we get H_BUSY back from the hypervisor. This
makes the hvc console driver retry, avoiding dropped printks.
