Title:
  Libvirt console parameter incorrect for ARM KVM

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  If you configure nova to run on Calxeda ARM with libvirt/KVM, the
  generated libvirt configuration passes console as:

  <os>
      …
      <cmdline>root=/dev/vda console=tty0 console=ttyS0</cmdline>
  </os>

  For ARM guests the libvirt configuration should use 'console=ttyAMA0',
  hence as it stands you lose serial output for the guest. Currently the
  console settings are hard coded in nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py . I
  think we should modify that to be operator configurable via an option
  in nova.conf. I can submit a change accordingly, but would like
  feedback on if this sounds reasonable.
