v3 cover virtio-serial: Trivial fixes, don't copy buffers to host

Hi,

This patch series converts virtio-serial-bus to use the guest buffers instead of copying over guest data to the host, as suggested by Paul.

In addition, there are some trivial fixes and code re-arrangement to the virtio-console and virtio-serial code for the upcoming flow control series.

Please apply.

v3:
- Move discard logic to a separate function
- Drop while-loop-rework patch as it's now no longer necessary with the new discard logic

v2:
- drop the erroring out patch till we decide what's to be done
- remove goto usage.

Amit Shah (4):
virtio-console: Factor out common init between console and generic
ports
virtio-console: Remove unnecessary braces
virtio-serial-bus: separate out discard logic in a separate function
virtio-serial: Don't copy over guest buffer to host

PATCH v3 1/4 virtio-console: Factor out common init between console and generic ports

The initialisation for generic ports and console ports is similar. Factor out the parts that are the same in a different function that can be called from each of the initfns.

Remove unnecessary braces around a case statement.

PATCH v3 3/4 virtio-serial-bus: separate out discard logic in a separate function

In reply to Amit Shah

Instead of combining flush logic into the discard case and not discard case, have one function doing discard case. This will help later when adding flow control logic to the do_flush_queued_data() function.

PATCH v3 4/4 virtio-serial: Don't copy over guest buffer to host

In reply to Amit Shah

When the guest writes something to a host, we copied over the entire buffer first into the host and then processed it. Do away with that, it could result in a malicious guest causing a DoS on the host.
