hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks

This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.

In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)

The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).

I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.

Changes since last version:
o remove ifdef
o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
o cleanups, sparse..

I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
size constraints.

I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
the irq_requested element.

Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.
