Guy Martin fbea668498 parisc : Remove broken line wrapping handling pdc_iodc_print()
Remove the broken line wrapping handling in pdc_iodc_print().
It is broken in 3 ways :
  - It doesn't keep track of the current screen position, it just
    assumes that the new buffer will be printed at the begining of the
    screen.
  - It doesn't take in account that non printable characters won't
    increase the current position on the screen.
  - And last but not least, it triggers a kernel panic if a backspace
    is the first char in the provided buffer :

 Backtrace:
  [<0000000040128ec4>] pdc_console_write+0x44/0x78
  [<0000000040128f18>] pdc_console_tty_write+0x20/0x38

  [<0000000040104eb8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14

Most terminals handle the line wrapping just fine. I've confirmed that
it works correctly on a C8000 with both vga and serial output.
