I have added a hangup notifier that can be used by hvc console
backends to handle a tty hangup. The default irq hangup notifier
calls the notifier_del_irq() for compatibility.

This patch exploits the new notifier callbacks of the hvc_console. We can
use the virtio callbacks instead of the polling code.

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.
The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

Make virtcons_probe() __devinit.

This is an hvc-based virtio console driver. It's suboptimal becuase
hvc expects to have raw access to interrupts and virtio doesn't assume
that, so it currently polls.
There are two solutions: expose hvc's "kick" interface, or wean off hvc.
