[PATCH 3/7] initdev:kernel:Await console discovery, v6

[David VomLehn <dvomlehn@cisco.com>]

Wait for the console device to become available.

History
v6	Changed BOOTDEV_* to INITDEV_*.
v5.1	Corrected call to initdev_register() to be initdev_registered().
v5	Change bootdev_* to initdev_*.
v4	Use new hotplug synchronization infrastructure. Include Braille
	console support.
v3.2	Use only a single new command line parameter by adding the possible
	value "forever".  Add message specifying the parameter to modify to
	increase the delay for console initialization
v3.1	Correct the abbreviation for milliseconds in
	Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to be "ms", not "mS". Thanks to
	Peter Anvin for this.
v3	Increase the default delay to 1 second and add kernel command line
	parameters to override the default delay. Thanks to David Brownell for
	his helpful suggestions.
v2	Wait for the preferred console rather than any console. Make the
	delay interval a tunable.
v1	Initial version
