I'm just curious - is it really have to be UART? can it be a PV TTY

There is a couple of usecase where we cannot use PV console:
- Running unmodified baremetal application as guest. Those applications will not have PV driver. - Guest compliant with the VM system specification for ARM [1]. A pl011 is required.

Do you have any concern with this?
