It uses trace_pipe_raw. I guess if splice(from trace_pipe_raw to virtio-serial)

It shouldn't. If it does, then there's likely a bug. The code will block
and if an interrupt comes in it will return immediately without reading
from the buffer.

I don't see where it would return -EINTR and consume data, but I may be
missing something.
