    lguest: don't look in console features to find emerg_wr. · 55c2d788

    The 1.0 spec clearly states that you must set the ACKNOWLEDGE and
    DRIVER status bits before accessing the feature bits.  This is a
    problem for the early console code, which doesn't really want to
    acknowledge the device (the spec specifically excepts writing to the
    console's emerg_wr from the usual ordering constrains).
    
    Instead, we check that the *size* of the device configuration is
    sufficient to hold emerg_wr: at worst (if the device doesn't support
    the VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_EMERG_WRITE feature), it will ignore the
    writes.
