tipar: remove obsolete module

The tipar character driver was used to implement bit-banging access
to Texas Instruments parallel link cable. A user-land method now 
exists thru PPDEV &amp; PARPORT.

The count of legacy pty devices can be set by a kernel commandline
parameter. For the distro kernel, we would like to disable all pty's
by default, but keep the opportunity to request devices on the kernel
commandline.

This is an hvc-based virtio console driver.  It's suboptimal becuase
hvc expects to have raw access to interrupts and virtio doesn't assume
that, so it currently polls.

There are two solutions: expose hvc's "kick" interface, or wean off hvc.

Since default_utf8 is already a sysfs attribute, having an extra
CONFIG_VT_UNICODE compile-time option is redundant, since sysfs attributes can
be set at boot and run time.

Also let Linux VCs default to UTF-8 (as per the discussion at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/6/99).

This changes hvc_init() to be called only when someone actually uses the
hvc_console driver.  Dave Jones complained when profiling bootup.

hvc_console used to only be for Power aka pSeries: now lguest and Xen both
want it built-in in case the kernel is a guest under one of those, even
though usually it will be a native boot.

As of now, the kernel defaults to non-unicode and XLATE for the keyboard.
We've been changing this in Fedora, but that requires patching the defaults
in the kernel.

The attached introduces CONFIG_VT_UNICODE, which sets the console in
unicode mode by default on boot, including both the virtual terminal and
the keyboard driver.
