Hi Akio and all
Thank you for your comments. I'm sorry that the answer is late.
I will send the following 4 patches following this mail.
[1/4] add read pointer to the xen console ring
[2/4] add xenlogd daemon for xen console logging
[3/4] modify xend for automatically starting xenlogd
[4/4] README of xenlogd
> This xenlog tools clear a reading part of console buffer.

I solved this problem by adding another read pointer of the console
buffer of Xen for xenlogd daemon.
The pointer is used when a negative value is specified
for the fourth argument(named "clear") of the xc_readconsolering() function.
The console can be logged independently by this correction
with the operation of the xm dmesg command.

I decided to put xenlogd on tools/misc in this patch though I made a
new directory in the last patch for xenlogd.
And, xenlogd was automatically started from xend python script.
So you have nothing to do except applying the patch.
Best regards,
