The 'virsh console' command has been an oddity that only works when run locally, as the same UID as the QEMU instance. This is because it directly opens /dev/pty/XXX. This introduces a formal API for accessing consoles that uses the virStreamPtr APIs. Now any app can open consoles anywhere it can connect to libvirt
I don't (right now, at least) have any comments on the patches themselves, but I can't help but wonder what other wonderful improvements you've got in your pipeline. I spent at least a couple of hours on something like this a couple of weeks ago, but had I known that you were already doing it, I wouldn't have wasted my time.
So, in an effort to not duplicate efforts, perhaps everyone who's working on something reasonably big (certainly stuff like this, but also smaller change sets) could put a list up somewhere for all to see? Perhaps such a list already exists and I just don't know about it?
I'm in the process of working through all the RFE bugs against libvirt to put together a semi-formal 'roadmap' that we can publish. People could then put their names against items if they intend todo them.
