Can you help me understand what anaconda support is missing?  I
understand that may be beneficial for built-in installer support for
communicating logs over a virtio-serial device.  

However, I'm curious if this is a working solution at a basic level.  Is
it possible to communicate between F13 virt guest and host over a
virtio-serial device at all?  How does communication over the
virtio-serial device work, is it a network, a pipe, a block device?
Assuming that works, are there known problems that would restrict using
this same solution inside stage2 anaconda?

Thanks,
James
