- Support the KDB alt break sequence to enter the debugger,
panic, reboot, etc. [1]
- Provide emergency write feature description. Note that QEMU
does not implement this feature.
- Make the VTCON_FLAG_* defines sequential once again.
- When the multiple port feature is not negotiated, query the
rows and columns of the one console during the device attach
when the size feature is negotiated.
- Report failure to the device if hot plugging a port fails.
- Acknowledge the console port event with an open event. This
is required by the spec, but QEMU doesn't seem to care.

Support for the multiport feature is mostly implemented, but currently
disabled due to some potential races in the hot plug code paths.
