[Lguest] [PATCH 1/2] virtio_console: support console resizing

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger at de.ibm.com>

this patch uses the new hvc callback hvc_resize to set the window site 
which allows to change the tty size of hvc_console via a hvc_resize 
function.

I have added a new feature bit VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_SIZE. The driver will 
change the window size on tty open and via the config_changed callback
of the transport. Currently lguest and kvm_s390 have not implemented this
callback, but the callback can be implemented at a later point in time.
