similar to: virtio: console: Barrier needed before dropping early_put_chars?

Hey Rusty, These updated patches in the series return -EFAULT on copy_xx_user errors and also move the copy_from_user into fops_write() instead of it being in send_buf. This enables send_buf to just read from kernel buffers, making it simpler. This also allows write()s to write more to the host in one go, removingthe 4k limitation. I do limit the writes to 32k at once to not put too much

Hey Rusty, In this version: - Assume only one inbuf; no input buffering for ports - Remove the START/END delimiters for outgoing buffers - Remove the header that was sent along with each buffer - Remove unused buffers in the vqs at port remove time - Send a guest port open message to the host when a console port is attached - Remove cached buffers when ports are closed / disconnected - Send

Hey Rusty, This is a respin of my patches on top of the series you posted. I've taken the liberty to modify your patches for style consistency and comments where needed, keeping the authorship info intact. I've had to update a few of your patches for functional changes, I've changed the authorship info on those patches. The (only) major functional change is to have a list for ports

Unfortunately there proved to be at least one bug which requires an ABI change, so we're best off not introducing multiport support until 2.6.35. While I generally left the multiport code paths intact, I really wanted to remove the ABI defines from the header, which meant some quite deep cuts.

If we're using multiport, there's no point in always creating a console port. Create the console port only if the host doesn't support multiport.

Hello, This series reworks the ABI to allow port discovery (only) via the control queue and enable multiport again. In addition, it adds support for non-blocking write() support, which means no spinning. This works fine with the recent patches that are on qemu-devel. Also included is removal of hvc_remove() as removing one such console port causes other console ports (registered with hvc) to
