Per my understanding:
1. To enable the serial console, it needs configuration on guest OS.
/ You must configure the virtualized operating system to output
information to the virtual serial port.//
// The serial port is called //|ttyS0|//on Linux or
//|COM1|//on Windows./
It need to modify the |/boot/grub/grub.conf| file on guest OS and
reboot guest.
So VM must have OS already installed, seems like it needs the
guest to be running.
Prior to do that guest OS configuration, the guest must have the serial
console set on its XML.
<serial type='pty'>
<target port='0'/>
</serial>
<console type='pty'>
<target type='serial' port='0'/>
</console>
So the idea is providing a way to user to choose between spice, vnc or
serial and Kimchi will setup the guest XML accordingly.

2. The serial console can be accessed with 'virsh console' or 'use
|virt-manager| to display the virtual text console'.
So the target of this work item is to add a 'web command line
console' in kimchi UI to access the 'serial console'?

We could try to find an AJAX text console to enable serial console view
direct on Kimchi (the same virt-manager does)
So if the guest is configured with serial console and user clicks on
"Connect" we open the text console in a new tab.
But unless we find this AJAX text console done in an open source
project, I don't expect to have it for 1.4 release.
