Thinking about this, this isn't the right way of sending console resize
updates: we write in the config space and send an update event via
control messages. The control message could be processed after another
config-space update for another port, leading to races.

I think it's better to send the row and column sizes along with the
resize message. We do something similar for sending the 'name'; we could
also imbed a struct within the VIRTIO_CONSOLE_RESIZE message similarly.
This would need some guest kernel changes too.

Kusanagi, can you do it? For guest kernel changes, please work off
linux-next.git for your changes.

If not, I'll get to this in a couple of weeks' time.

Thanks,
