"xm console" in VMX could not work well now, as we know.
We can see the output of the console, but it keeps scrolling
like hitting enter.
When I investigate this bug, I found that the serial parameter
has not been set anywhere, which might be the cause of this issue.
The VMX console model for VMX is somewhat different with domU's.
When the serial port is redirect to pty, write the allocated device
to xenstore, then xm console can get it, thus xenconsole is independent
of xenconsoled in VMX.

I found that Minicom can work well in "xm console" VMX, and borrow minicom's
behavior to set some parameter for "xen console"
and domU is working well too.
