hw/s390x: Allow to configure the consoles with the "-serial" parameter
The consoles ("sclpconsole" and "sclplmconsole") can only be configured with "-device" and "-chardev" so far. Other machines use the convenience option "-serial" to configure the default consoles, even for virtual consoles like spapr-vty on the pseries machine. So let's support this option on s390x, too. This way we can easily enable the serial console here again with "-nodefaults", for example: qemu-system-s390x -no-shutdown -nographic -nodefaults -serial mon:stdio ... which is way shorter than typing: qemu-system-s390x -no-shutdown -nographic -nodefaults \ -chardev stdio,id=c1,mux=on -device sclpconsole,chardev=c1 \ -mon chardev=c1 The -serial parameter can also be used if you only want to see the QEMU monitor on stdio without using -nodefaults, but not the console output. That's something that is pretty impossible with the current code today: qemu-system-s390x -no-shutdown -nographic -serial none While we're at it, this patch also maps the second -serial option to the "sclplmconsole", so that there is now an easy way to configure this second console on s390x, too, for example: qemu-system-s390x -no-shutdown -nographic -serial null -serial mon:stdio Additionally, the new code is also smaller than the old one and we have less s390x-specific code in vl.c :-) I've also checked that migration still works as expected by migrating a guest with console output back and forth between a qemu-system-s390x that has this patch and an instance without this patch.
