Patch 1 frees the buffers When a port is unplugged from the virtio
console device. It does this with the help of 
'virtqueue_detach_unused_buf_split/packed'
function. For split ring case, corresponding function decrements avail ring 
index.
For packed ring code, this functionality is not available, so this patch adds 
the
required support and hence help to remove the unused buffer completely.
