[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 12/12] xen_console: fall back to qemu serial device

[Alexander Graf]

The new xen_console protocol changed the default xen_console output device
from whatever Qemu chose to whatever xenstore choses and "pty" as fallback.

This is not how Qemu works. It has its own serial redirection semantics. So
it xenstore doesn't contain information on what to do, Qemu is the place to
ask.
