No, there isn't. xenlinux has hijacked major 4 from the vt subsystem
for the xenconsole. IMHO that was a bad idea in the first place. UML
made the same mistake btw. Now we have the situation that you can have
either the framebuffer + vt or xenconsole, never both.
Asking xenconsole to grab the serial line instead should work
(xencons=ttyS).
