2013-05-08powerpc: Add an in memory udbg consoleAlistair Popple
This patch adds a new udbg early debug console which utilises statically defined input and output buffers stored within the kernel BSS. It is primarily designed to assist with bring up of new hardware which may not have a working console but which has a method of reading/writing kernel memory. This version incorporates comments made by Ben H (thanks!). Changes from v1: - Add memory barriers. - Ensure updating of read/write positions is atomic.
