Hey Christian,

I have a new patch that changes a few things:
- moves the put_char fix to probe instead of doing it in
  init_port_console(), which gets called on each console port found.
- uses port->id instead of a static hvc_vtermno to pass on a value to
  hvc_alloc(). Motivation explained within comments in the code.
- A few other changes that introduce and make use of port->vcon instead
  of accessing the static virtconsole directly -- aimed at easing future
  fix to have multiple virtio-console devices.

It would be great if you could test this.

		Amit
