This patch adds the support for multiple consoles and introduces the iterator
functions to operate on multiple consoles.

This patch is in preparation to support a new vuart console.

How is xsname useful? It doesn't look like it is used anywhere except
init, right?

A simple trick to make patch easier to handle is to separate out changes
like this one: renaming conspath to xspath causes a lot of churn, which
ends up all mixed up with other meaningful changes.

Is this actually useful? It doesn't look like the rest code changed in
regards to console_create_tty.

I think we need to do this per console actually, see below

Is there a reason why we have one xce_pollfd_idx, xce_handle,
next_period and event_count per domain, rather than per console?

It is strange to set xce_pollfd_idx if at least one console of the
domain has enough buffer availability. Similarly, it is strange to count
the next_period on a per domain basis, regardless of the number of
consoles. It would be natural to do it at the console level.

Hi Stefano,

Thanks for your comments.

Yes. I will remove it from the console structure.

I thought that xspath is a more appropriate name than conspath because
it tells that it is related to
xenstore. I could keep it unchanged. Let me know. Else I will
introduce this in a separate patch.

I think this check in not required as it would be called only if the
console was initialized.
I will remove the check.

I tried to reuse the same event channel for handling multiple consoles
since an event channel can handle multiple connections by allocating
unique local ports. Considering that there will not be many consoles
active at the same time, I thought it might be ok to reuse the same
event channel.

I agree that it is natural to make this per console. Let me know if I
should make it per console.

I suppose by design there is one event channel per console so per
console event channel in xenconsoled makes more sense to me.
