The only problem is that the BootConsole has almost nothing to do with
a serial console to watch booting.

Hopefully this gets through. I think this would help a lot. When I
hear BootConsole, I think a serial console to watch boot. If there's
also a Terminal, I'd likely assume that's what I want and just
ignore BootConsole.

I don't disagree which is why I changed it to BootConsole. I didn't
want to drop the word console though.
What about SimConsole -> Terminal?

I think the real issue is that the term Console as applied to the
early
booting code of Alpha is not generally known. We can call it
something that
it isn't, but that confuses the people who know.

I only know of two uses of Console. The display console and the
alpha
console. The issue with the latter is that it's explicitly
called the
console in the alpha code.
I could rename SimConsole to Terminal. How would that do?

My one concern is that all the forms of "Console" might be getting
a bit ambiguous, especially if other ISAs have something
similar. I
can't think of anything that conflicts with in any of the ISAs I'm
most familiar with, but it's something to watch out for if you
drop
the "Alpha" at least.

Ok, I've got a bunch of default renaming in my tree:
default output directory is now: ./m5out
default stats filename is now: <outdir>/stats
default config file output is now: <outdir>/config
default console output is now: <outdir>/<sysname>.console
In doing the last one, I decided to rename SimConsole ->
Console and
AlphaConsole to BootConsole.
Does that all seem alright? I only want to do this all once
since it
will potentially require people to rewrite scripts and requires
fixing
up the regression stuff.
