If the 'nr_ports' variable in the config space is updated to a higher
value, that means new ports have been hotplugged.
Introduce a new workqueue to handle such updates and create new ports.

The host can set a name for ports so that they're easily discoverable
instead of going by the /dev/vportNpn naming. This attribute will be
placed in /sys/class/virtio-ports/vportNpn/name. udev scripts can then
create symlinks to the port using the name.

Add a guest_connected field that ensures only one process
can have a port open at a time.
This also ensures we don't have a race when we later add support for
dropping buffers when closing the char dev and buffer caching is turned
off for the particular port.

Allow guest userspace applications to open, read from, write to, poll
the ports via the char dev interface.
When a port gets opened, a notification is sent to the host via a
control message indicating a connection has been established. Similarly,
on closing of the port, a notification is sent indicating disconnection.

The char device will be used as an interface by applications on the
guest to communicate with apps on the host.
The devices created are placed in /dev/vportNpn where N is the
virtio-console device number and n is the port number for that device.
One dynamic major device number is allocated for each device and minor
numbers are allocated for the ports contained within that device.
The file operation for the char devs will be added in the following
commits.

This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this
feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for
that device. New ports are spawned according to this information.
The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be
spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the
appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be
hot-plugged in later.
Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to
hvc consoles.
We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via
which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether
the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window,
etc.
Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char
devices in /dev/ for bi-directional guest-host communication.

Adding support for generic ports that will write to userspace will need

Consolidate the write routine into send_buf() and put_chars() now just
calls into the new function.

Console ports could be hot-added. Also, with the new multiport support,
a port is identified as a console port only if the host sends a control
message.
Move the console port init into a separate function so it can be invoked
from other places.

Move out console-specific stuff into a separate struct from 'struct
port' as we need to maintain two lists: one for all the ports (which
includes consoles) and one only for consoles since the hvc callbacks
only give us the vtermno.
This makes console handling cleaner.

Rather than assume a single port, add a 'struct ports_device' which
stores data related to all the ports for that device.
Currently, there's only one port and is hooked up with hvc, but that
will change.

Keep a list of all ports being used as a console, and provide a lock
