[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/4] qemu-char: Register ring buffer driver with correct name "ringbuf"

[Markus Armbruster]

The driver is new in 1.4, with the documented name "ringbuf".
However, it's actual name is the completely undocumented "memory".
Screwed up in commit 3949e59.  Fix code to match documentation.

Keep the undocumented name working as an alias for compatibility.
