Hendrik Brueckner 7f8030d166 hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency 
This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting.

For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0,
because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context
(see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c).

For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because
tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls
might sleep due to mutex_lock.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /root/cvs/linux-2.6.git/kernel/mutex.c:207
