When using the serial console in the GTK interface of QEMU (and QEMU has been compiled with CONFIG_VTE), it is possible to trigger the assert() statement in vty_receive() in spapr_vty.c by pasting a chunk of text with length > 16 into the QEMU window. Most of the other serial backends seem to simply drop characters that they can not handle, so I think we should also do the same in spapr-vty to fix this issue.
