2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

From: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
[ Upstream commit 0a492896ac07336c98f37ad7fab4a6387b6ada78 ]
If a video head and keyboard are hooked up, specifying "console=ttyS0" or similar to use a serial console will not work properly.
The key issue is that we must register all serial console capable devices with register_console(), otherwise the command line specified device won't be found. The sun serial drivers would only register themselves as console devices if the OpenFirmware specified console device node matched. To fix this part we now unconditionally get the serial console register by setting serial_drv->cons always.
Secondarily we must not add_preferred_console() using the firmware provided console setting if the user gaven an override on the kernel command line using "console=" The "primary framebuffer" matching logic was always triggering o n openfirmware device node match, make it not when a command line override was given.
