[PATCH 10/12] hw/xen: automatically assign device index to console devices

[David Woodhouse]

From: David Woodhouse <d...@amazon.co.uk>

Now that we can reliably tell whether a given device already exists, we
can allow the user to add console devices on the command line with just
'-device xen-console,chardev=foo'.

Start at 1, because we can't add the *primary* console; that's special
because the toolstack has to set up the guest end of that.
