Hey Miche.
The git commit 361162459f62dc0826b82c9690a741a940f457f0:
hvc_console: display printk messages on console.
is causing an infinite loop when booting Linux under Xen, as so:
Ick, not good, thanks for letting us know.
Indeed. I am wondering why it was put in a tree and sent to Linus without
any Acks or even being replied to by anyone. It appeared in the tty tree
between Oct 14 and Oct 25 (while I was unfortunately on vacation). If
anyone had tried to boot this on any PowerPC server, it would have been
immediately obvious (as it was when I booted Linus' tree last night).
And the original author expressed doubts as to his understanding of how
it should all work anyway.
Just a little more care, please.
I would vote for reverting the original and having it resubmitted with
corrections at some later date.

You are right, I will go do that, sorry for the problems.

Ping ...
Linus can you please just revert 361162459f62dc0826b82c9690a741a940f457f0
"hvc_console: display printk messages on console" as it breaks consoles
for all PowerPC server machines.

Thanks for doing this, I was going to include it in my next pull request
after 3.2-rc1 was out, but you are right, it should have gone in sooner.
