I wrote a regression suite that stresses the console code pretty hard 
and checks for data corruption.  We're still losing data (although when 
throttled appropriately the loss can reduced).  I've hunted it down a 
bit and it appears xcs is dropping the messages.

This leads to the question of how close the new console driver is.  If 
it's going to be awhile, I'll hunt down the xcs problem but I'd rather 
put that energy into just getting rid of xcs.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
