Well, I don't think screen needs changes.  screen can be used to
manage any terminal device (including multiple of these at the same
time in different screen windows).

I'm using "screen -c /dev/null /dev/ttyS0 115200" to manage the serial
console of the crashing devel machine ;)

"screen /dev/pts/<nr>" works fine as well, I use that sometimes with
user mode linux which can redirect the consoles devices of the uml
virtual machine to pseudo terminals on the host machine.  Something
simliar would probably work fine for xen as well, although it probably
isn't as easy as with uml when considering migration ...
