Will Schmidt b791072ba3 [POWERPC] hvc_console: Polling mode timer backoff
Add a back-off mechanism to hvc_console's polling logic.   This change
drops the timers/second ratio from ~90 to ~1/2 while the console is
idle.
This change is most noticeable when watching /proc/timer_stats output.

This only affects when the hvc_console is running in poll mode, i.e.
power4 and cell systems.

I've tested on Power4, Michael Ellerman has both contributed to the
patch and tested on cell.
