Aspeed VUART implementation for QEMU
Hi folks,
I was thinking of getting stuck into the VUART implementation in QEMU soon.
After reading the docs, I think we should map in a 16550 uart at the address specified in the design docs, and attach the other end of the uart to a socket. Does this sound reasonable?
Joel mentioned that Cedric has already given this some thought, so I'd love to hear it.

yes, using a chardev socket to connect it to the other end.
I think we could event connect the console of a pnv guest for that. Use this branch, if you want a full working one :
