[PATCH v3 0/5] xen/console: cleanup console input switch logic

[dmkhn@xxxxxxxxx]

The patch series originates from the NS16550 UART emulator series [1] (x86)
which requires ability to switch physical console input to a PVH/HVM domain
with an emulated UART.

Currently, on x86, console input can be rotated in round-robin manner only
between dom0, PV shim, and Xen itself. On Arm the input rotation can include
domUs with vpl011.

The main idea of this series is introducing a per-domain permission flag that
is set during domain initialization and used by the console driver to switch
the input across permitted domains.

Patch 1 performs rename of switch_serial_input() to fit the console driver
notation.

Patch 2 simplifies the existing vUART code by using newly introduced API.

Patch 3 introduces a new domain permission flag to mark ownership of the
console input for the console driver.

Patch 4 cleans up the console input switch logic by removing dependency
on max_init_domid. Depends on patches 1, 3 and [2].

Patch 5 performs rename of console_rx to console_domid to match the usage
of the symbol in the code.
