Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] getting debug output out of hvmloader and qemu-dm
I think I have encountered this issue before.  I could be wrong but if
my memory serves me right, I built the hypervisor/tools with debug=y
(apart from setting the vgabios preprocessor flag) and then I got the
output through xm dmesg.
