[PATCH] hvc_console: Rearrange code

Milton Miller has done a lot of work to clean up our hvc_console code.

One of the important things the following patch series does is separate the
VIO layer from the hvc_console code.  With the VIO specific code removed any
ppc64 platform, or even any architecture, can use hvc_console as a generic
polling console.  You simply have to supply a get_chars and put_chars method
and hvc_console does the rest of the work.  You can even use it for an
interrupt driven console.

This patch:

Rearrange the code in drivers/char/hvc_console.c to make future patches
smaller.  No actual code changes, just ordering of the functions in the file.
