SRU Justification (for Trusty)

Impact: Currently it is not possible to use "console <guest>" from virsh for a PV guest, even when a console is defined. With the patch applied this works.

Fix: Single patch cherry-picked from upstream solves the issue.

Testcase: Define a PV guest in libvirt with the following console definition:

<console type='pty'>
  <target type='xen'/>
</console>

Start the PV guest from virsh and try to connect to the console (console <domid|domname>). Without the patch this results in an error message. With the patch applied the console output shows up.
