similar to: [PATCHv2] virtio_console: Add support for remoteproc serial

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> Add feature VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_DMA_MEM. If the architecture has DMA support and this feature bit is set, the virtio data buffers will be allocated from DMA memory. If the device requests the feature VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_DMA_MEM, but the architecture don't support DMA the driver's probe function will fail. This is needed for using

This patch-set introduces a new virtio type "rproc_serial" for communicating with remote processors over shared memory. The driver depends on the the remoteproc framework. As preparation for introducing "rproc_serial" I've done a refactoring of the transmit buffer handling. NOTE: These two patches are identical to first two patches of the V8 patch-set, but are rebased to

From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> I thought rebasing rproc_serial to linux-next was going to be trivial. But when starting the merge I realized that I had to refactor the the patches from Masami Hiramatsu. The splice support has the same issue as I faced, with different type of buffers in the out_vq. So I ended up refactoring the splice functionality. The code size

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
