Ping.
This is a patch similar with ARM platforms.
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=3a2beaee1d50dc968171...
Right now on ppce500, chardev is not supported for the
serial console. So it uses the the legacy -serial option.
Best Regards,
Olivia

Subject: [PATCH] qemu: Fix specifying char devs for PPC
QEMU ppce500 board uses the old style -serial options.
Other PPC boards don't give any way to explicitly wire in a -chardev except
pseries which uses -device spapr-vty with -chardev.
