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

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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. Instead look for a PV
console first and a serial console second, if an HVM guest has a PV console
then it is a good bet that it is preferred, I think.

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.
