    console: avoid buffer overrun in guest_console_write()
    
    conring_puts() has been requiring a nul-terminated string, which the
    local kbuf[] doesn't get set for anymore. Add a length parameter to the
    function, just like was done for others, thus allowing embedded nul to
    also be read through XEN_SYSCTL_readconsole.
    
    While there drop a stray cast: Both operands of - are already uint32_t.
