Sorry, but this needs a v3, and I'm going to hand it back to you to fix.
 I tried adding a testsuite, but it proved that you weren't outputting
the startupPolicy during dumpxml formatting.  My initial attempt to add
it backfired (I'll post it below); I'm worried that we are playing too
fast and loose with a union type, since even with my patch in place,
'make check' fails with problems like:

84) QEMU XML-2-XML serial-dev                                         ...
Offset 913
Expect [/>
      <target port='0'/>
    </serial>
    <console type='dev'>
      <source path='/dev/ttyS2]
Actual [ startupPolicy='(null)'/>
      <target port='0'/>
    </serial>
    <console type='dev'>
      <source path='/dev/ttyS2' startupPolicy='(null)]

which is a bug, since you said startupPolicy should only be tied to
files and not other <serial> types.  Do we need to repeat the
startupPolicy on the <console> mirror of the first <serial> device, or
is that unnecessary back-compat, and where we can safely declare that
startupPolicy is only emitted for the <serial> side of things?

All told, your patch is not complete until it passes 'make check' with a
new xml2xml test that proves we can round trip the new policy.
