Description
The serial port configuration of a domain is not currently exported in its XML description. This is needed for libvirt/virsh management of this feature.
A number of things:

- console support is currently disabled in virt-install for HVM in our bits.
  Revert this bit.

- our version of ioemu has no pty support for Solaris. Backport, and fix, this
  support

- libvirt is looking for console info dynamically. We can probably fix this to
  look for sexpr, now the serial console appears there under (devices)

- this implies that we will now use the pty method for HVM serial console instead
  of telnet. And *that* means that least-priv will need changes. In particular,
  it's time to write 'virt-console' as Dan suggested.
