I have not looked at your last two versions of the patch  since you did not add 
a changelog to your patch description. I thought you only did minor changes.
Turned out you added/changed several places. (e.g. VIRTIO_CONSOLE_CACHE_BUFFERS, 
VIRTIO_CONSOLE_THROTTLE_PORT  and VIRTIO_CONSOLE_BUFFER_LIMIT  are all new)

When you do bigger changes can you add a changelog in your patch description in 
the future?
