Not sure how to approach this series.  On the one hand things look good;
however, when run with Xu Wang's 48 patch series it seems there's
assumptions in one set of patches or the other.

In particular, there's numerous failures with the libvirt message "Only
the first console can be a serial port", which means for some reason
there's more than one console in the guest configured to use the serial
line.

Since patch 1/2 deals with console's I have to assume that it's the
reason/cause for what I've seen.  I haven't had the time to dig deep on
it though, but I guess I'd ask - is the code that seems to add a console
to a guest ever (or need to check) whether the guest already has one?
Would the 48 patch series somehow "assume" a need to put a console in an
others list.  Just throwing random ideas out there. It's been a long day.
