VGA output should be easy, but Xen has no keyboard driver so no way will
debug keys work. Serial ports can be a pain if their I/O resources are in
non-standard places, and/or the crystal runs at a non-standard frequency.
These values can be specified manually on the Xen command line (if you know
what they should be!).
