This one took me eons to debug, but I've finally found it now, oh well.
The usage of the MIN macro in this line:
last_out = MIN(len, qemu_chr_be_can_write(scd->chr));
Causes qemu_chr_be_can_write to be called *twice*, since the MIN macro
evaluates its arguments twice (bad MIN macro, bad!). And the result of
the call can change between the 2 calls since the guest may have consumed
some data from the virtio ringbuffer between the calls!
When this happens it is possible for qemu_chr_be_can_write to return less
then len in the call made for the comparision, and then to return more then
len in the actual call for the return-value of MIN, after which we will end
up writing len data + some extra garbage, not good.
This patch fixes this by only calling qemu_chr_be_can_write once.
