Linux Virtualization - Feb 2008 - xen: Make hvc0 the preferred console in domU

This makes the Xen console just work.  Before, you had to ask for it
on the kernel command line with console=hvc0

I see that this has been causing issues when people expect the pvfb 
driver to be the console.  Should we make it a config option, which 
depends on !XENFB?
