[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] Add support for guest serial console

[Ramon Medeiros]

Hi,

i want to discuss about the support of guest serial console. To access a 
serial console, i need to add the xml of the device 
(http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Unable_to_connect_to_console_of_a_running_domain):

  <serial type='pty'>
    <target port='0'/>
  </serial>
  <console type='pty'>
    <target type='serial' port='0'/>
  </console>

And, the operation system of the VM need to point to the serial:

  console=ttyS0,115200

So, how we can make sure that the user can access the machine by serial 
console:

1) Just add the xml and let the user add the statement above?

2) Use libvirt to add this parameters 
(https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsOSKernel)
