* [PATCH] Remove MODULE_PARMRusty Russell2006-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | MODULE_PARM was actually breaking: recent gcc version optimize them out as unused. It's time to replace the last users, which are generally in the most unloved drivers anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | More header cleanups, strip out typedefs and remove cruft. There are a lot of magic macros that can go and also a great deal of abuse of volatile that is not needed any more as this patch set cleans up the misuse of pointer access to ISA and PCI space.

If tty_buffer_request_room() gets called prior to that thread running -- which is likely in this loop in hvc_poll(), it would set the active flag in the tty buffer and consequently flush_to_ldisc() would ignore it. The result is that input on the hvc console is not processed. This fix calls tty_flip_buffer_push (and flags the tty as "low_latency"). The push to the ldisc thus happens synchronously.
