Patch 4 doesn't apply (hmp.h), missing SoB on a few patches. 

Tested with Seabios. Works as advertised, tested console switching, quit, serial console. Some minor point:
 To switch to serial: Ctrl-Alt-1. To switch back to console output you have to release Ctrl & release Alt, then repress them, i.e. can't just release 1 and press 0.

Verified systemtap points using the following script:

$ cat scripts/simple-qemu-trace.py 
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

start = sys.argv[1]

for line in sys.stdin:
    if not line.startswith(start):
        continue
    probe = line.split('(')[0]
    print """probe qemu.system.x86_64.%s {
    printf("%s\\n");
}
""" % (probe, probe)

./scripts/simple-qemu-trace.py fbdev < trace-events | sudo stap -v -s1 -I x86_64-softmmu -
