[08/34] parisc: pass through \t to early (iodc) console

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

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

------------------

From: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca>

commit d9b68e5e88248bb24fd4e455588bea1d56108fd6 upstream.

The firmware handles '\t' internally, so stop trying to emulate it
(which, incidentally, had a bug in it.)

Fixes a really weird hang at bootup in rcu_bootup_announce, which,
as far as I can tell, is the first printk in the core kernel to use
a tab as the first character.
