[PATCH v2 1/3] hvc/xen: fix event channel handling for secondary consoles

[David Woodhouse]

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The xencons_connect_backend() function allocates a local interdomain
event channel with xenbus_alloc_evtchn(), then calls
bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi() to bind to that port# on the
*remote* domain.

That doesn't work very well:

(qemu) device_add xen-console,id=con1,chardev=pty0
[   44.323872] xenconsole console-1: 2 xenbus_dev_probe on device/console/1
[   44.323995] xenconsole: probe of console-1 failed with error -2

Fix it to use bind_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi(), which does the right thing
by just binding that *local* event channel to an irq. The backend will
do the interdomain binding.

This didn't affect the primary console because the setup for that is
special — the toolstack allocates the guest event channel and the guest
discovers it with HVMOP_get_param.
