On soft reset, the prinary console event channel needs to be rebound to
the backend port (in the xen-console driver). We could put that into the
xen-console driver itself, but it's slightly less ugly to keep it within
the KVM/Xen code, by stashing the backend port# on event channel reset
and then rebinding in the primary console reset when it has to recreate
the guest port anyway.
Does Xen re-bind the primary console on EVTCHNOP_reset? That's news to
me. I go check.
I spent an unhapp hour trying to work out how Xen actually does any of
this :)
In the short term I'm more interested in having soft reset work, than
an explicit EVTCHNOP_reset. And I can't work out *how*, but we do seem
to have console again after a kexec in real Xen.
