Setting up the console is just like setting up xenstore.  The tools have 
to create an interdomain evtchn between domain-0 and the remote domain.  
The xc_linux_build function will return to MFNs.  You have to introduce 
the domain with the local evtchn for the store and the store MFN.  Then 
you have to write the local console evtchn and console MFN to the store.
