[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] libxl: Support PV consoles



Currently the driver only exposes the ability to connect to the serial console
of a Xen guest, which doesn't work for a PV guest. Since for an HVM guest the
serial devices are duplicated as consoles it is sufficient to just use the
console devices unconditionally.

Tested with the following bit of config XML:

<domain type='xen'>
  ...
  <devices>
    <console type='pty'>
      <target type='xen'/>
    </console>
  </devices>
</domain>

I have observed and tested this on ARM but I believe it also applies to x86 PV
guests.
