Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/1] Backcompt for console devices in virDomainDeviceInfoIterate

Histrically, the first <console> element is treated as the alias of a <serial> device. In the virDomainDeviceInfoIterate, This situation is not considered. It still handles the first <console> element as another devices, which means that for console[0] with serial targetType, it calls callback function another time. It will cause the problem of address conflicts when assigning spapr-vio address for serial device on pSeries guest. For pSeries guest, the serial configuration in the xml file is as the following: <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> <address type='spapr-vio'/> </serial> Console configuration is default, the dumped xml file is as the following: <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/5'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> <address type='spapr-vio' reg='0x30000000'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/5'> <source path='/dev/pts/5'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> <address type='spapr-vio' reg='0x30000000'/> </console> It shows that the <console> device is the alias of serial device. So its address is the same as the serial device. When dectecting the conflicts in the qemuAssignSpaprVIOAddress the first console and the serial device conflicts because virDomainDeviceInfoIterate() still handle these as two different devices, and in the qemuAssignSpaprVIOAddress(), it will compare these two devices' addressed. If they have same address, it will report address confilict error. So this patch is to handle the first console which targetType is serial as the alias of serial device to avoid address conflicts error reported.
