The qemu_chr_fe_write method will return -1 on EAGAIN if the
chardev backend write would block. Almost no callers of the
qemu_chr_fe_write() method check the return value, instead
blindly assuming data was successfully sent. In most cases
this will lead to silent data loss on interactive consoles,
but in some cases (eg RNG EGD) it'll just cause corruption
of the protocol being spoken.
We unfortunately can't fix the virtio-console code, due to
a bug in the Linux guest drivers, which would cause the
entire Linux kernel to hang if we delay processing of the
incoming data in any way. Fixing this requires first fixing
the guest driver to not hold spinlocks while writing to the
hvc device backend.

Move the inclusion out of hw/hw.h, most files do not need it.

At present only the core UART functions (data path for tx/rx) are
implemented, which is enough for UEFI to boot. The following
features/registers are unimplemented:
* Line/modem control
* Scratch register
* Extra control
* Baudrate
* SPI interfaces
