It works as I expected, the warning mentioned in the BZ was updated by
commit 601a82cb.  I don't want to return near the top of the function where is
that check for arm, because there is still another warning about "No --console
device added, ..." which should be printed if user explicitly disable console
for his guest using "--console none".
