[Xen-devel] [PATCH] user guide: clarify the example for Xen serial console

[Muli Ben-Yehuda <mulix@xxxxxxxxx>]

Add 'console=xxx' to the Xen serial console section to make it obvious
that one might need to specify 'console=xxx' and not just 'comX=xxx'
if one isn't using the default com1,vga.

 One can also configure XenLinux to share the serial console; to achieve
 this append ``\path{console=ttyS0}'' to your module line.
