virtio: console: Use a control message to add ports

Instead of the host and guest independently enumerating ports, switch to
a control message to add ports where the host supplies the port number
so there's no ambiguity or a possibility of a race between the host and
the guest port numbers.

We now no longer need the 'nr_ports' config value. Since no kernel has
been released with the MULTIPORT changes yet, we have a chance to fiddle
with the config space without adding compatibility features.

This is beneficial for management software, which would now be able to
instantiate ports at known locations and avoid problems that arise with
implicit numbering in the host and the guest. This removes the 'guessing
game' part of it, and management software can now actually indicate
which id to spawn a particular port on.

Multiport support was disabled for 2.6.34 because we wanted to introduce
a new ABI and since we didn't have any released kernel with the older
ABI and were out of the merge window, it didn't make sense keeping the
older ABI around.

Now we revert the patch disabling multiport and rework the ABI in the

virtio: console: Add a new MULTIPORT feature, support for generic ports

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.

commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a
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.

I have added a new feature bit VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_SIZE. The driver will

of the transport. Currently lguest and kvm_s390 have not implemented this
