A simple task we talked about recently is to enable the vuart
(xen/arch/arm/vuart.c) for all guests. At the moment it is only emulated
for Dom0, but some guests, in particular BareMetal guests
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BareMetal), would benefit from it.

It would be best to introduce an option in libxl to explicitly
enable/disable the vuart for DomUs. Something like vuart=1 in the VM
config file.

BTW we should keep this up to date:
