[RFC PATCH 1/6] virtio/console: Add splice_write support

[Yoshihiro YUNOMAE]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Enable to use splice_write from pipe to virtio-console port.
This steals pages from pipe and directly send it to host.

Note that this may accelerate only the guest to host path.
