The guest code sort-of ends up looking like this after merging
virtio_console into virtio_serial.
I think it should better go the other way around: add multichannel
support to virtio-concole, probably guarded by a feature flag so old
host+new guest and new host+old guest combinations continue to work.
Since there's support for only one console as of now, I've assigned port
#2 as the console port so that we hook into hvc when a port is found at
that location.
Doesn't sound like this is going to be backward compatible ...
Also I still think passing a 'protocol' string for each port is a good
idea, so you can stick that into a sysfs file for guests use.
Note it is probably easy to make virtio-console support multiple hvc
lines by having one protocol for that (named 'console' for example).
cheers,
