[Xen-devel] [PATCH 7 of 11] xl: do not continue in the child and exec xenconsole in the parent



Currenctly console_autoconnect spawns a child that continues building
the domain while the parent exec's xenconsole; this patch inverts the
logic.
As a consequence autoconnect_console needs to be called twice: once for
pv guests at the beginning and once for hvm guests at the end.
