   At the risk of upsetting transparent paravirtualization, should we be
setting CONFIG_XEN_DISABLE_SERIAL in our buildconfig?  I'd really like
to see some way to do it dynamically so we can still build the 8250
driver into a kernel for a serial console on bare metal, but getting a
working serial console is currently too confusing.  Thoughts?  Thanks,

        Alex
