The two functions to write out to the console (one used in normal console mode and one in polling console mode) were slightly different. One used a barrier() in its loop and the other a cpu_relax(). The barrier() really doesn't do anything since we're using rd_regl() to read the port anyway. Switch it to cpu_relax() to make things consistent. No known bugs / issues are fixed by this change--it just makes things more consistent.
