The arch/ppc64 stuff mostly looks OK - however I would prefer that you
created a new arch/ppc64/kernel/hvcs.c (and include/asm-ppc64/hvcs.h)
rather than tripling the size of the existing hvconsole.c. There are
a couple of whitespace nits (missing space after "if" in a couple of
places), and this:

> +#define HVCS_LONG_INVALID 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

would look better as either ~0UL or -1L (and I don't see why it really
needs a #define).

Regards,
Paul.
