H A Dvirtio-serial.h08f432aa Thu Dec 18 21:57:27 CST 2014 David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> virtio-serial: Don't keep a persistent copy of config space

The 'config' field in the VirtIOSerial structure keeps a copy of the virtio
console's config space as visible to the guest, that is to say, in guest
endianness. This is fiddly to maintain, because on some targets, such as
powerpc, the "guest endianness" can change when a new guest OS boots.

In fact, there's no need to maintain such a guest view of config space -
instead we can reconstruct it from host-format data when it is accessed
with get_config.
