[Xen-devel] PATCH: Don't use -q flag to bootloader if activating text console

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In Xen 3.0.3 series release, if one did 'xm create -c someguest' then you
would be shown the pygrub boot menu, allowing one to pick a kernel. If
you didn't use the -c arg, then it'd just pick the default kernel.

In Xen 3.0.5 testing, xm is forcing the addition of the '-q' flag whenever
the 'bootargs' parameter is not given in the config file. So if one does
not have 'bootargs' specified, and one uses 'xm create -c someguest' you
never get to see the pygrub boot menu.

The attached patch fixes 'xm create' so that it does not add the '-q' flag
to the bootloader args, if the '-c' flag is given to xm create. This makes
the default user experiance operate closer to user expectations
