There only ever have been two host implementations of the old
s390-virtio (pre-ccw) transport: the experimental kuli userspace,
and qemu. As qemu switched its default to ccw with 2.4 (with most
users having used ccw well before that) and removed the old transport
entirely in 2.6, s390-virtio probably hasn't been in active use for
quite some time and is therefore likely to bitrot.
Let's start the slow march towards removing the code by deprecating
it.
Note that this also deprecates the early virtio console code, which
has been causing trouble in the guest without being wired up in any
relevant hypervisor code.

In case the registration of the hvc tty never happens AND the kernel
thinks that hvc0 is the preferred console we should keep the early
printk function to avoid a kernel panic due to code being removed.

checkpatch.pl wants arrays of strings declared as follows:
static const char * const names[] = { "vq-1", "vq-2", "vq-3" };
Currently the find_vqs() function takes a const char *names[] argument
so passing checkpatch.pl's const char * const names[] results in a
compiler error due to losing the second const.
This patch adjusts the find_vqs() prototype and updates all virtio
transports. This makes it possible for virtio_balloon.c, virtio_input.c,
virtgpu_kms.c, and virtio_rpmsg_bus.c to use the checkpatch.pl-friendly
type.

Bugfixes and documentation fixes. Igor's patch that allows
users to tweak memory table size is borderline,
but it does fix known crashes, so I merged it.

* tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost:

vhost: extend memory regions allocation to vmalloc
9p/trans_virtio: reset virtio device on remove
virtio/s390: rename drivers/s390/kvm -> drivers/s390/virtio
MAINTAINERS: separate section for s390 virtio drivers
virtio: define virtio_pci_cfg_cap in header.
