This patch registers hvc0 as the preferred console if no console
has been specified explicitly on the kernel command line.
The purpose is to allow platform agnostic kernels and boot images
(such as distro installers) to boot in a Xen/ARM domU without the
need to modify the command line by hand.

Unfortunately, this won't work as expected.
console_set_on_cmdline is set when Linux parses the early params. The
parsing is done after setup_arch (the function which call xen_early_init).
So we will end up to add the HVC console even if a console has been
passed on the command line.
