I'm not sure there's any confusion. By default Xen uses the VGA console
until dom0 starts executing, at which point it gives it up. At that point
Xen has no console devices. If the user overrides any settings, for example
to give Xen com1 then we make efforts to prevent dom0 from conflicting
(e.g., by silently disallowing its attempts to mess with com1).
