Indeed, order matters should we go the route of multiple consoles.
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/configure-kernel.html
"When multiple consoles are listed output is sent to all consoles and
input is taken from the last listed console. The last console is the one
Linux uses as the /dev/console device."
However, I'd recommend we mimic the existing behavior used for xen, and
only provide a single console= key/value pair.
Thanks,

I'd rather do things constistently for all virt types.
Makes it easier to explain.
Right now --no-gfx is just /weird/.
We'll add the two console parameters to kernel_options &&
kernel_options_post if and only if the user has not already specified
any console --kopts, and of course only for VMs.
I don't think that will break anyone that way.
