I'm confused.  I thought we already had support for multiple PV
consoles.  Is the problem that the backend is in qemu rather than
xenconsoled ?  I'm not sure how this patch interacts with the
qemu-provided extra PV consoles in docs/misc/console.txt.

I'm afraid (as you probably predicted) I don't think this patch is
suitable for upstream in its current form.  I can see that
restructuring xenconsoled to be more dynamic is some work but I may be
able to help there.

CCing Stefano, the author of docs/misc/console.txt, at his new
address.

Thanks,
Ian.
