[Qemu-devel] [PATCH master/0.14] virtio-serial: Disallow generic ports at id 0

[Amit Shah]

It was found libvirt was using port 0 for generic ports.  It has been
fixed in libvirt commit 8e28c5d40200b4c5d483bd585d237b9d870372e5.

Port 0 is reserved for virtconsole devices for backward compatibility
with the old -virtioconsole (from qemu 0.12) device type.

Ensure we don't allow instantiating a port at id 0 as well.
