The PAPR specification defines a virtual TTY/console interface for guest
OSes to use via the H_PUT_TERM_CHAR and H_GET_TERM_CHAR hypercalls. There
can be multiple virtual ttys, so these take a "termno" parameter. This
encodes which vty to use as the 'reg' property on the device tree node
associated with that vty.
However, with the early debug options enabled, the Linux kernel will
attempt debugging output through the vty very early, before it has read
the device tree. In this case it always uses a termno of 0. This works
on the existing PowerVM hypervisor, so we assume there must be a hack /
feature in there which interprets termno==0 to mean the default primary
console.
To help with debugging kernels, including existing distribution kernels,
this patch implements a similar feature / hack in qemu. If termno==0
is supplied to H_{GET,PUT}_TERM_CHAR, they use the first available vty
device instead.
We need to be careful in the case that the user has manually created
an spapr-vty at address 0. So first we search for the specified reg and
only if that doesn't match do we fall back.

In commit b4a7852735 ("Place pseries vty
devices at addresses more similar to existing machines"), we changed the
default reg for the vty to 0x30000000, however we didn't update the default
value for a user specified vty device. Fix that.

If qemu is run like:
qemu-system-ppc64 -nodefaults -device spapr-vty
We end up in spapr_vty_init() with dev->chardev == NULL. Currently
that leads to a segfault because we unconditionally call
qemu_chr_add_handlers().
Although we could make that call conditional, I think a spapr-vty
without a chardev is basically useless so fail the init. This is
similar to what the serial code does for example.

Restructure common properties for sPAPR devices so that IRQ definitions
can be added in one place.

Right now the spapr devices cannot be instantiated with -device,
because the IRQs need to be passed to the spapr_*_create functions.
Do this instead in the bus's init wrapper.
This is particularly important with the conversion from scsi-disk
to scsi-{cd,hd} that Markus made. After his patches, if you
specify a scsi-cd device attached to an if=none drive, the default
VSCSI controller will not be created and, without qdevification,
you will not be able to add yours.
NOTE from agraf: added small compile fix

Now that we have implemented the PAPR "xics" virtualized interrupt
controller, we can add interrupts in PAPR VIO devices. This patch adds
interrupt support to the PAPR virtual tty/console device.

This extends the "pseries" (PAPR) machine to include a virtual IO bus
supporting the PAPR defined hypercall based virtual IO mechanisms.
So far only one VIO device is provided, the vty / vterm, providing
a full console (polled only, for now).
