I see - so in order to avoid the binding between driver and device there are two options I guess. Either make virtio_dev_match() or virtcons_probe() fail. Neither of them seems like the obvious choice. Maybe adding a check for VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_DMA_MEM match between device and driver in virtcons_probe() is the lesser evil?
