virtio: console: Add file operations to ports for open/read/write/poll
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. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
