[Frank Li] Some basic question,
I see you call register_virtio_device at epf_vcon_setup_vdev,
Why call it as virtio console?  I suppose it should be virtiobus directly?

Previous you use virtio-net, why change to virtio-console here?  Does it matter?
All virtio-XXX should work?

You removed EDMA support this version?
