Place pseries vty devices at addresses more similar to existing machines

Currently the qemu pseries machine numbers its virtual serial devices
from 0. However, existing pSeries machines running pHyp number them from
0x30000000.

In theory these indices are arbitrary, since everything necessary for the...

  • 'display-character' rtas call

This just prints a character to the console, it's occasionally used...
