[virt-tools-list] [PATCH virt-install] arm: On arm the virtual console is PL011-based ttyAMA0.

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Confusingly real ARM hardware can have either PC-like 8250 devices,
which the Linux kernel calls /dev/ttyS0, or ARM-only PL011-based
/dev/ttyAMA0.

qemu can emulate either, but the default for `-M virt' is the PL011
so /dev/ttyAMA0.

Change the warning message so it uses ttyAMA0 instead.
