For domU_read_console: I don't mean to block this patch but we need to
be sure about the semantics of hv_ops.get_chars. Either it is expected
to be already locked, then we definitely shouldn't add another lock to
domU_read_console. Or it is not expected to be already locked, then we
should add the lock.

My impression is that it is expected to be already locked, but I think
we need Greg or Jiri to confirm one way or the other.

Aside from that the rest looks fine.
