Pls add a comment explaining that -ENOSPC happens when
queue already has buffers (e.g. from previous detach).

So actually, how about handling ENOSPC specially here, and
returning success? After all queue is full as requested ...

I think it's interesting to return -ENOSPC to manage it as a real error
in virtcons_probe() as in this function the queue should not be already
full (is this right?) and to return the real error code.

OK then. Pls add comments.
