This change adds a new optional console method cn_resume and a kernel
console interface cnresume. Consoles that may need to re-initialize
their hardware after suspend (e.g., because firmware does not care to do
it) will implement cn_resume. Note that it is called in rather early
environment not unlike early boot, so the same restrictions apply.
Platform specific code, for platforms that support hardware suspend,
should call cnresume early after resume, before any console output is
expected.
This change fixes a problem with a system of mine failing to resume when
a serial console is used. I found that the serial port was in a strange
configuration and an attempt to write to it likely resulted in an
infinite loop.
To avoid adding cn_resume method to every console driver, CONSOLE_DRIVER
macro has been extended to support optional methods.
