[PATCH 0/6] virtio-console: spec compliance fixes
Turns out virtio console tries to take a buffer out of an active vq. Works by sheer luck, and is explicitly forbidden by spec. And while going over it I saw that error handling is also broken - failure is easy to trigger if I force allocations to fail. Lightly tested. Michael S.

[PATCH 3/6] virtio_console: free buffers after reset
Console driver is out of spec. The spec says: A driver MUST NOT decrement the available idx on a live virtqueue (ie. there is no way to ?unexpose? buffers). and it does exactly that by trying to detach unused buffers without doing a device reset first. Defer detaching the buffers until device unplug. Of course this means we might get an interrupt for a vq without an attached port now. Handle that by discarding the consumed buffer.
