[089/102] powerpc/pseries/hvconsole: Fix dropped console output

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Aug 03 2011 - 19:31:50 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 51d33021425e1f905beb4208823146f2fb6517da upstream.

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