I have some old code I wrote for the IBM Research Hypervisor which implements a console. I stole that ring buffer code for the xenstore, in fact. I don't think externally-supplied pages are necessary. I was thinking of writing the page (or pages) into the store immediately (since we don't need locks, or to wait for a reply). I think we want more than one page because my boot messages almost hit 8k to the first login prompt, and the idea of requiring a console daemon repulses me. Robert?
