Subject: [PATCH] virtio-console: Enable port throttling when chardev is slow

 to consume data

When a chardev indicates it can't accept more data, we tell the

virtio-serial code to stop sending us any more data till we tell

otherwise.  This helps in guests continuing to run normally while the vq

keeps getting full and eventually the guest stops queueing more data.

As soon as the chardev indicates it can accept more data, start pushing!
