Amit Shah fb08bd274d virtio: console: Associate each port with a char device
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.
