Thank you for your information, but unfortunately the setting
"com2=115200,8n1,0x2f8,0 console=com2" do not work on my Tiger4.

Thank you for your information.
It works fine when I revert this changeset.

On Tiger4, the following message outputs:
  ERROR: I/O base address must be specified.
This error is written by ns16550_parse_port_config() at
xen/drivers/char/ns16550.c if iobase == 0.

I think that In case of Tiger4 ns16550_com1.io_base is 0, so the code
to initialize com2 does not run.

# Notice that Tiger4 has one serial port.
