I always use `serial` console for my Qemu hacking but if some cloud environments rather have viocon's it seems like a sound idea. AFAIK its not that hard and was on my TODO list when I worked on virtio but it got sidetracked by other work. I am currently working on something completely different but might take a peek but feel free to try :) With regards, Reinoud
