We scheduled this for 3.6, to give it some time to settle, but it has been tested 
internally on 3.4 with the sclp console patches that we submitted last week against
qemu and on lpar/zvm. (this reminds me: can you have a look at the qemu patches
that Jens sent last week?)

If you can testify that this also works on a SLES system we can ask Avi/Marcelo,
to consider this for 3.5. The current setup of assuming virtio console if running
under KVM is obviously not correct, so it makes sense to check for the existing consoles
before activating them.
