The name "vuart" makes more sense to use for the user point of view.

Regarding vuart.c, this is just a name of a file that is used to expose 
a very limited UART to DOM0 that mimic the host UART. In the future we 
may want to expose something similar for guest running unmodified OS and 
target a specific hardware.
We can rename the file if it is too confusing.
