Michael,

here are two virtio/s390 patches for 4.8.

First, Jing Liu noticed that she could trigger panics while playing
around with hvc0 as preferred console but no virtio console: This
can be fixed by not discarding our early_put_chars after init (as
the minimal fix).

This made us wonder why we still have that code around when no current
host code supports the old transport: We have no idea whether this
still works, and it's probably a good idea to put a deprecation
message in there to check whether anyone screams.

Patches are against your vhost branch.
