    virtio_console: free buffers after reset · a7a69ec0

    Console driver is out of spec. The spec says:
    	A driver MUST NOT decrement the available idx on a live
    	virtqueue (ie. there is no way to “unexpose” buffers).
    and it does exactly that by trying to detach unused buffers
    without doing a device reset first.
    
    Defer detaching the buffers until device unplug.
    
    Of course this means we might get an interrupt for
    a vq without an attached port now. Handle that by
    discarding the consumed buffer.
