The command line:

no-console_timestamps dom0_mem=3G loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all 
com1=9600,8n1 console=com1 crashkernel=256M@256M no-console_timestamps=no

in 4.4 and before ends up with date style console_timestamps.  In xen 
4.5 you get no console_timestamps.

The simpler case of no-console_timestamps no longer works also.
