Apparently it's not; will be removed in the next version of this patch.

I'd prefer the function to be as simple as possible. If a specific output
is expected that should be handled by the caller. The function name could
be adjusted to pv_console_read_some to reflect that better, in symmetry to
pv_console_write_some. That one isn't public though, which is why I didn't
do it initially.

Alternatively one could adopt a more well-known function such as readline,
as was done with printk in regard to printf.
