Subject: [34-longterm 139/179] powerpc/pseries/hvconsole: Fix dropped console output

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

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 51d33021425e1f905beb4208823146f2fb6517da upstream.

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