Xen already stops outputting to vga as soon as domain0 starts to boot
(assuming it has console=tty0 on its command line). So you have two
options:
1. Pass ''console=none'' to Xen as a boot parameter. No output
on vga.
2. Pass ''console=tty0'' to domain0 as a boot parameter.
Output on vga
until dom0 starts.
There''s no halfway house of just banner and then nothing else. That
doesn''t sound very useful.
