I tested a patch identical to the one you checked in (including the
preferred console stuff) and it works as expected. Even with no console=
the console is hvc0 and the getty on hvc0 functions as expected and
gettys on tty* (on pvfb) seem fine.

To get console on the pvfb I had to use "xencons=off" just doing
console=tty{,0,1} didn't do the trick. I'm not too worried about that.

Ian.
