Add feature VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_DMA_MEM. If the architecture has
DMA support and this feature bit is set, the virtio data buffers
will be allocated from DMA memory. If the device requests
the feature VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_DMA_MEM, but the architecture
don't support DMA the driver's probe function will fail.

This is needed for using virtio_console from the remoteproc
framework.

Sorry for the back and forth, I've been pondering MST's points.

If we make a new dma-multiport device (eg. ID 11), how ugly is the code?

It would be a virtio console with DMA buffers and no console, just the
multiport stuff.  This would have no impact on the current spec for
virtio console.

Thanks,
Rusty.
