It is indeed rather sparse. I believe this has been discussed on the
mailing list before.

Basically, you'll need to download xvm-src from here:

http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b95/

(or b96 when it's out). If you unpack that and read sunos.hg/README, you
should be able to build the sources. This will generate packages which
you can then install on your system to test.

If you have a look at console.c in libvirt.hg/patches/libvirt you can
see the virt-console implementation. You'll want to replicate the code
that does the file locking on the console inside of
xen.hg/tools/console/client.c

If you get stuck, do ask - it's easiest to join #solaris-xen on freenode
though
