The char device will be used as an interface by applications on the
guest to communicate with apps on the host.
The devices created are placed in /dev/vportNpn where N is the
virtio-console device number and n is the port number for that device.
One dynamic major device number is allocated for each device and minor
numbers are allocated for the ports contained within that device.
The file operation for the char devs will be added in the following
commits.

This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this
feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for
that device. New ports are spawned according to this information.
The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be
spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the
appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be
hot-plugged in later.
Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to
hvc consoles.
We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via
which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether
the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window,
etc.
Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char
devices in /dev/ for bi-directional guest-host communication.

Move out console-specific stuff into a separate struct from 'struct

includes consoles) and one only for consoles since the hvc callbacks
only give us the vtermno.
This makes console handling cleaner.

commit 3ca4f5ca73
virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.
In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

this patch uses the new hvc callback hvc_resize to set the window size
which allows to change the tty size of hvc_console via a hvc_resize
function.
I have added a new feature bit VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_SIZE. The driver will
change the window size on tty open and via the config_changed callback
of the transport. Currently lguest and kvm_s390 have not implemented this
callback, but the callback can be implemented at a later point in time.

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.

1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

This is an hvc-based virtio console driver. It's suboptimal becuase
hvc expects to have raw access to interrupts and virtio doesn't assume
that, so it currently polls.
There are two solutions: expose hvc's "kick" interface, or wean off hvc.
