[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: Set path to console on domain startup

Hi,

I'm trying to fix an issue when using OpenStack with libvirt+xen (libxenlight).
OpenStack cannot access the console output of a Xen PV guest, because the XML
generated by libvirt for a domain is missing the path to the pty. The path
actually appear in the XML once one call virDomainOpenConsole().

The patch intend to get the path to the pty without having to call
virDomainOpenConsole, so I've done the work in libxlDomainStart(). So I have a
few question:
Is libxlDomainStart will be called on restore/migrate/reboot?
I guest the function libxlDomainOpenConsole() would not need to do the same
work if the console path is settup properly.

There is a bug report about this:
