Boot messages are duplicated on console when ttvHV0 is enabled.
The reason for this issue is that on sun4v we have three consoles during
boot:
1 OpenBoot: earlyprom0
2 VT: tty0
3 Hypervisor: ttyHV0
After we enable tty0 we disable earlyprom0 console, but we do not duplicate
the messages that were already printed because tty0 uses a different
output. In fact, until we register ttyHV0 nothing new appears on the
screen, so if we panic during this interval (which is quite long), we do
not have any information about the panic.
The fix is to unregister boot console only when ttyHV is registered, also,
since OpenBoot can modify the output device (using output-device variable),
we must check that the output-device was virtual-console, which uses the
same output method as the hypervisor.
