Hello,
This series is now separated from the chardev flow control series.
The virtio-serial code now does not copy over data from the guest to
the host. It instead keeps track of how far we are in consuming the
data and maintains this state.
For flow control, when a user of the virtio-serial port signals it has
consumed less data than given, port throttling is enabled. The
consumer can then later disable throttling and we can re-start sending
the data from where we left off.
Finally, new fields introduced are added to the save/restore section
to preserve state across live migrations.
Please apply.
