AFAIK there are plans to allow both multiple "serial" consoles and multiple 
framebuffers in the future.  Multiple serial consoles have been on TODO lists 
for a long time, but nobody has yet been motivated enough to hack in support.

It oughtn't to be that hard to adapt the existing drivers to support multiple 
consoles per domain.

Cheers,
Mark
