[S390] hvc_iucv: Special handling of IUCV HVC devices
This patch introduces special handling of the IUCV HVC console device. If the first IUCV HVC terminal is used as (preferred) Linux console, and needs some special handling for hangup. The hvc_iucv_private structure contains a flag to indicate whether a IUCV HVC device is used as a console. A terminal acting as "console" behaves different if a tty hangup occurs: If the iucv communication path is severed, a tty hangup is not triggered (because the HVC layer does not notify its back-end in that case). Instead, the console session is left unchanged and the IUCV HVC device is reset to allow re-connects. Note: Any output between the disconnect and a re-connect is discarded.
