This patch provides notification of console updates via VIRQ.
The readconsolering capabilities provide the opportunity to
provide console output to other clients (remote systems,
logging systems, etc). This patchs adds the ability to generate
a notification of a change in the console buffer.

I have available both client and server programs that will take
either serial line (from qemu) or consolering data and remote
them to another system via UDP.  I can easily post these as
examples, if there's any interest.  We use these programs
fairly heavily to send serial line and/or dom 0 console output
to other systems for debugging and/or logging.
