Linux Virtualization - Feb 2013 - [PATCH] virtio_console: Initialize guest_connected=true for rproc_serial

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com>

When rproc_serial is initialized, guest_connected should be set
to true. We can then revert the extra checks introduced in
commit: "virtio_console: Let unconnected rproc device receive data."
