Hi there,

A couple of small additions:

What's the benefit of doing it this way over using the <console> XML?  I thought they would both enable the serial stuff, but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm not opposed to this in principle, though I think we probably need more work to make it work properly.  In particular, I'm pretty sure "_wait_for_guest_boot" will have to be modified to listen over the unix domain socket instead of the listen_port (at which point we can remove the listen_port completely).  You can test it out by running oz-install with -u or -g to do customization/icicle generation, respectively.
 
Thanks,
