[S390] s390/hvc_console: z/VM IUCV hypervisor console support
This patch introduces a new hypervisor console (HVC) back-end that provides
terminal access over the z/VM inter-user communication vehicle (IUCV).
The z/VM IUCV communication is independent of the regular tcp/ip network
and allows access even if there is no network connection between two
z/VM guest virtual machines.
The z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end helps the user to access a
z/VM guest virtual machine that lacks of network connectivity; and thus,
provides a "full-screen" terminal alternative to 3215/3270 terminal sessions.
Use the hvc_iucv=[0..8] kernel boot parameter to specify the number of
HVC terminals using a z/VM IUCV back-end.
A recent version of the s390-tools package is required to establish a
terminal connection to a z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end.
