This patch finally adds the support for vuart console. It adds
two new fields in the console initialization:

- optional
- prefer_gnttab

optional flag tells whether the console is optional.

prefer_gnttab tells whether the ring buffer should be allocated using
grant table.

What about leaving this off for ARM32 by default?

Why? This will only disable xenconsole changes and not the hypervisor. The changes are quite tiny, so I would even be in favor of enabling for all architectures.

Or are you suggesting to disable the VPL011 emulation in the hypervisor? But I don't see the emulation AArch64 specific, and a user could disable it if he doesn't want it...

Cheers,
