Hey Rusty, This series adds support for generic ports with each port getting two vqs: one for input and one for output. The host notifies us via the config space of the max. number of ports that can be added for a particular device. As a result of that change, the buffer management for find_readbufs and send_bufs is moved to the vqs. Only one outbuf per port is used so we bide away some time in

This patch set if my first attempt to make virtio_console usable on s390. To do so, I had to change hvc_console, because s390 has no request_irq and no free_irq. I want to get feedback from the main users of hvc_console before I proceed. The basic idea of this patch set is to remove the calls to request_irq and free_irq and replace them with backend specific callbacks. Please see the

Three of the patches could be squashed in one, but it makes more sense to review them as three. These patches fix the case of an PVHVM guest not being able to resume propely b/c of hitting: 142 BUG_ON(info->type != IRQT_UNBOUND && info->type != type); (in events.c) and also adds a WARN to catch situations like these. The reason for this is that the Xen python toolstack

I am working on some other bugs and perf issues - and while working I noticed that both sparse and Coverity have reported some issues with Xen drivers. Please see attached various bug-fixes that I am proposing for 3.6.

Fix the polling section of the hvc driver to use the global "last_hvc" variable, rather than the ttys.

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
