What purpose does the 'name' field serve here ? It is used for
virtio serial devices to format the /dev/virtio-serial/arbitrary.virtio.serial.port.name
device node in the guest, but AFAIK, this isn't applicable to
virtio console devices.
This page indicates it is a valid option:

However I don't know what the value of it is, so I've dropped it. It can
always be added later if someone wants it.
Thanks,
