When in time-travel mode (infinite-cpu or external) time should not pass for writing to the console. As such, it makes sense to put the FD for the output side into blocking mode and simply let any write to it hang. If we did not do this, then time could pass waiting for the console to become writable again. This is not desirable as it has random effects on the clock between runs. Implement this by duplicating the FD if output is active in a relevant mode and setting the duplicate to be blocking. This avoids changing the input channel to be blocking should it exists. After this, use the blocking FD for all write operations and do not allocate an IRQ it is set. Without time-travel mode fd_out will always match fd_in and IRQs are registered.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
