Enable specifying a virtio console device with:

What purpose does the 'name' field serve here ? It is used for virtio serial devices to format the /dev/virtio-serial/arbitrary.virtio.serial.port.name device node in the guest, but AFAIK, this isn't applicable to virtio console devices.
This page indicates it is a valid option: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtioSerial However I don't know what the value of it is, so I've dropped it. It can always be added later if someone wants it. Thanks, Cole
