A couple questions regarding xvc...

1. xencons=xvc works and makes more sense than clobbering ttyS0 by
   default.  Is there some reason that the default for xencons is
   still ttyS on dom0?  Sure hvc is coming, but would it be reasonable
   to change the default for xencons in the meantime?

2. xencons=xvc1 and upward is accepted by the kernel, but it just
   changes the userland naming.  The major/minor remains the same at
   204/191.  What's the point of this?  Is there any reason to allow
   anything other than xencons=xvc or xencons=xvc0?

Thanks,
Aron
