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.

Hi Stephen,

	next-20090925 randconfig build breaks on hvcs driver on powerpc,
with HVC_CONSOLE=n.

ERROR: ".hvc_put_chars" [drivers/char/hvcs.ko] undefined!
ERROR: ".hvc_get_chars" [drivers/char/hvcs.ko] undefined!

adding the dependency of HVC_CONSOLE helped

The ESP driver has been marked broken for years. It's an old ISA device
that clearly nobody cares about any more. Remove it

There isn't much else I can do with these. I can find no hardware for any
of them and no users. The code is broken.

Blackfin platforms do not support the hardware which this driver drives.
