When I was debugging tools/kvm virtio code, I used to 'instrument' the
guest kernel with printk() calls which helped a lot.
Sure, but do you really need it spewing out the serial port all the time?
Also, a bug in tools/kvm can manifest in many interesting ways in the
guest kernel during boot, for example. You can't do dmesg then and gdb
won't save you. I think you've lived too long in the table KVM and Qemu
land to remember how important reliable printk() is for development.
I guess. Also I've switched to trace_printk() since it's much nicer
(and intergrates with other ftrace features).
And again, I'm not against tools/kvm optimizing serial. I just want
better justification for socket-mmio.
