Hello, Here are two patches. One implements a virtio-serial device in qemu and the other is the driver for a guest kernel. While working on a vmchannel interface that is needed for communication between guest userspace and host userspace, I saw that most of the interface can be abstracted out as a "serial" device with "ports". Some requirements for a vmchannel are listed at

Hello, This is a new iteration of the patches that implement virtio-serial. Changes include: * Adding support for port hot-add * Creating ports at specific ids that can be bound to specific apps / usage * Cleanups This code still doesn't get rid of the support for assigning names to ports but it just has to be ripped out. Comments welcome. Thanks, Amit.
