Each domU has it's own xvc0.
You can run two "xm console" process, each connects to a different
domU, without a problem.
So the question now is what do you mean by
"But this process of booting another vm gets stuck in between as the vm
 waits for xvc0.."
cause I never see a vm WAITs for xvc0. What usually happens is that
you forget to create an inittab entry that spawns getty on xvc0.
So following that, your statement "Since its already used by another
vm, the second vm creation
via xm create is not going to completion.." does not make sense, since
one domU's xvc0 is independent of other domUs.
