I have an out-of-tree HVC backend here for a simple simulator console
(will never make it in-tree since it's never going to see other users). So
not that it really matters, but the patch is OK for that environment.

The only other case I can think of is if the backend really needs some
time to clear out data, if we end up spinning too much in the yield()
loop. POWER4 with HVC console is a possible candidate there, since all
partitions share a 19200bps line for consoles.

Assuming it's not an issue on POWER4 LPAR:
